When Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Muhammad-i-Sam, his father, died, Mahmud was desirous that his uncle, the Sultan-i-Ghazi, Mu’izz-ud-Din, should assign to him the throne of his father. But that expectation was not fulfilled, and the throne of Firuz-koh was conferred upon Malik ’Ala-ud-Din, Muhammad, the Pearl of Ghur, to whom the daughter of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Muhammad-i-Sam, was betrothed; and the territory of Bust, Isfizar, and Farah, were given to Sultan Mahmud. In the year in which \[his uncle\] the Sultan-i-Ghazi led an army into Khwarazm, Ghiyas-ud-Din, Mahmud, marched the troops of Bust, Farah, and Isfizar, into Khurasan, and proceeded to the gate of Marw-i-Shah-i-Jahan; and in that expedition he manifested many marks of skill and activity. When the Sultan-i-Ghazi, Mu’izz-ud-Din, was assassinated, Mahmud determined to proceed from Bust to Firuz-koh, and, when he reached Zamin-i-Dawar, the Khalj Amirs of Garmsir, with a numerous following, joined him. The Amirs and Maliks of Ghur all came forth to receive him; and, in the year 602 H., he reached Firuz-koh, and the throne of Ghur came into his possession, and he brought the territories of his father under his jurisdiction. - [Previous: 157.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.157.6) - [Next: 158.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.158.2) - [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.158.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.158.1) · Pramāṇa
