I also beg to remark that this is the name of a man, not of a race or tribe\], who was his son-in-law, was put to death at Ghaznin by command of Bahram Shah. Saif-ud-Din, Suri, in order to avenge his brother’s blood, set out towards Ghaznin. . . . Saif-ud-Din, having entered Ghaznin and become possessed of it, and, placing faith in the Ghaznawis, was there located. He sent back his brother, ’Ala-ud-Din, along with the whole of the old Amirs, to Ghur; and, notwithstanding that Saif-ud-Din, Suri, used to treat the people of Ghaznin with lenience, and that the Ghurians did not dare to oppress them, the Ghaznawis wished for Bahram Shah; and, although they used, outwardly, to show amity towards Saif-ud-Din, Suri, secretly, they used to carry on a correspondence with Bahram Shah, until the winter set in, and the roads into Ghur were closed by snow, and people were unable to pass to and fro. At this time Bahram Shah unexpectedly reached Ghaznin with a large army of Afghans \[he does not say they were Suris or Ghuris\], Khalj, and other dwellers in the wilds. - [Previous: 169.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.4) - [Next: 169.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.6) - [Up: 169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.5) · Pramāṇa
