183.1.7

About this time, also, while Kutb-ud-Din was still absent from Dihli, its former Rae raised an army to make an effort against the Musalmans. He was pursued and defeated by Kutb-ud-Din, taken prisoner, and his head struck off and sent to Dihli. According to the Taj-ul-Ma’asir, Kutb-ud-Din, at this time, sent an account of his proceedings to his master, and was summoned to Ghaznin. As it was then the hot season, he waited until the beginning of the rains to set out for the capital. Having reached Ghaznin, and having been received with great honour yar, the Khalj, in his [Malik Kutb-ud-Din's] time, and and favour by the Sultan, he fell dangerously sick ; but subsequently recovered, and was permitted to return to Hindustan again, and the government was again conferred upon him.
