Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Mahmud, son of Muhammad-i-Sam, with about 500 horse, of the main portion of his army, and some 2000 or 3000 foot, came forth from Firuz-koh, and a fight took place between them, and defeat befell the Ghurians; and Malik Rukn-ud-Din, Mahmud-i-Iran Shah, discomfited, retired to Ghaznin, and again came into Garmsir. He was seized by the Khudawand-zadah, Saif-ud-Din, Timrani, and he brought him to the presence of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Mahmud, who directed that he should be imprisoned in the residence of the Amir-i-Hajib, ’Umr-i-Shalmati. On the day that Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Mahmud, was assassinated, the Turkish slaves of Mahmud raised a tumult, and despatched one, who was named Amir Mangbaras-i-Zard, to put Malik Rukn-ud-Din, Mahmud-i- Iran Shah, to death. The writer of these words, Siraj-i-Minhaj, states on this wise: I was in my eighteenth year in the year 607 H., and was present at the entrance \[gateway\] of the Sultan’s palace, in the capital city of Firuz-koh, standing looking on, as is the custom among youths, when this Amir Mangbaras-i-Zard came riding up with a wallet, with blood dropping from it, hanging from his arm. The head of Malik Rukn-ud-Din, Mahmud-i-Iran Shah—may he rest in peace!—he had placed in that wallet, and he entered into the Sultan’s palace with it. - [Previous: 157.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.157.4) - [Next: 157.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.157.6) - [Up: 157](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.157) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.157.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.157.5) · Pramāṇa
