Certain informers made the Sultan acquainted with this circumstance, and this compact; and he commanded that it was necessary that ’Ala-ud-Din should be removed from the court of Ghaznin lest, through the wrath of humanity, odium might chance to touch him. ’Ala-ud-Din proceeded to the court of Bamian to his uncle’s sons; and [at that time] the throne of Bamian had passed to Sultan Baha-ud-Din, Sam, son of Sultan Shams-ud-Din, son of Malik Fakhr-ud-Din, Mas’ud. After he [Utsuz] had proceeded thither, they treated him with reverence, and the district of Nae of Bamian was assigned to his charge. After some time his [Utsuz’s] daughter was given [in marriage] to his [Sultan, Baha-ud-Din’s] eldest son, Malik ’Ala-ud-Din, Muhammad, as will subsequently be, please God, recorded in the Section on the Maliks of Bamian.
