All this they had done, until on the night of Tuesday, the 7th of the month of Safar, in the year 607 H., four individuals of the party referred to climbed up on the roof of the Sultan’s Kasr, and assassinated him, and got away again by the same road as they had got up. They then crossed the river of Firuz-koh, which flows in front of the Kasr, and also climbed to the top of that high hill \[the Koh-i-Azad\], and cried out with a loud voice: "O foes of our Malik! we have killed the Sultan: arise, and search for your Malik!" When the day broke, the whole city became agitated; and they buried the Sultan in the itself, and subsequently the body was removed to Hirat, and finally interred in the Gazar-gah \[catacombs\] of Hirat. The eldest son of the Sultan, namely Baha-ud-Din, Sam, was raised to the throne. - [Previous: 158.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.158.12) - [Next: 159.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.159.1) - [Up: 158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.158) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.158.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.158.13) · Pramāṇa
