SULTAN-UL-KARIM \[THE BENEFICENT\], KUTB-UD-DIN, I-BAK, AL-MU’IZZI US-SULTANI. Tabakat-i-Nasiri 181 - **Language:** English ### [181](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.181) The beneficent and just Sultan, Kutb-ud-Din, I-bak, who was a second Hatim, seized the throne of Ghaznin, and took it out of the hands of Taj-ud-Din, Yal-duz, who was his father-in-law. He occupied the throne for a period of forty days, and, during this space of time, he was wholly engaged in revelry, and in bestowing largess; and the affairs of the country through this constant festivity were neglected. The Turks of Ghaznin, and the Maliks of the Mu’izzi \[dynasty\], wrote letters secretly to Sultan Taj-ud-Din, Yal-duz, and entreated him to return. Sultan Taj-ud-Din determined to march thither from Karman, and, as the distance was short, he reached Ghaznin unexpectedly. Sultan Kutb-ud-Din, when he became aware of this, retired from Ghaznin towards Hindustan again, by the way of Sang-i-Surakh; and, as both of them, in the position of father-in-law and son-in-law, were in the relation of father and son, they did not cause any injury to be done to each other. Subsequently to that, the territory of Ghaznin came into the possession of Sultan Muhammad, Khwarazm Shah, and under the authority of the Khwarazmi Maliks, as has been previously recorded. This Section, on the Shansabanis and their Slaves, is concluded; and, after this, I come to the Section on the Sultans of Hindustan, the first of whom to be mentioned is Sultan Kutb-ud-Din, I'bak, and his illustrious actions, which, please God, will be recorded as fully as the limits of this book will permit. - [Previous: 180.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.180.8) - [Next: 182.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.182.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.181](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.181) · Pramāṇa
