Next day, this story was conveyed to the royal hearing, and the Sultan distinguished Kutb-ud-Din by his favour and intimacy, and assigned to him an honourable post among the important offices before the throne and the royal audience hall and he became the leader of a body of men, and a great official. Every day his affairs attained a high degree of importance, and, under the shadow of the patronage of the Sultan, used to go on increasing, until he became Amir-i-Akhur \[Lord of the Stables\]. In that office, when the Sultans of Ghur, Ghaznin, and Bamian, advanced towards Khurasan to repel and contend against Sultan Shah, the Khwarazmi, Kutb-ud-Din was at the head of the escort of the foragers of the stable \[department\], and used, every day, to move out in quest of forage Unexpectedly \[upon one occasion\], the horsemen of Sultan Shah came upon them and attacked them. Kutb-ud-Din displayed great energy; but, as the horsemen \[with him\] were few in numbers, he was taken prisoner; and, by Sultan Shah's commands, was put under restraint. - [Previous: 183.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.183.1.2) - [Next: 183.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.183.1.4) - [Up: 183.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.183.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.183.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.183.1.3) · Pramāṇa
