Tabakat-i-Nasiri 168 - **Language:** English ### [168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.168) The frail and humble author \[of these pages\], Minhaj-i-Saraj-i-Din-i-Minhaj—the Almighty shield his deformity!—thus states, that this Section is confined to the mention of the Shansabani Sultans from whose majesty the throne of the court of Ghaznin acquired splendour and magnificence, and from whose sovereignty the countries of Hind and Khurasan became glorious, the first of whom, of the Shansabi race, was Sultan Saif-ud-Din, Suri, and, after that, Sultan Ala-ud-Din, Al-Husain took Ghaznin, but did not rule there. After that, Sultan Mu’izz-ud-Din, Muhammad, son of Sam, captured it; and, when he attained martyrdom, he devised that throne to his own slave, Sultan Taj-ud-Din, Yal-duz, and with him that sovereignty terminated. The mercy and pardon of the Almighty be on the whole of them! - [Previous: 167](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.167) - [Next: 169.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.168) · Pramāṇa
