The Nāṣirī Generations 185.4

185.4

This branch was called Biah and Nalah-i-Biah ; whilst the other branch, flowing southwards, fell into the Sutlaj, as the Ghara, above its present confluence with the Biah, is called. One author, copied by Firishtah, states that this affair between Kaba-jah and I-yal-timish took place between Mansuriah and the banks of the Chinab, which seems very unlikely, being too far west. Kaba-jah, on witnessing this daring deed, according to the Taj-ul-Ma’asir, abandoned his position and fled towards “Luhawar,” whither he was pursued. His standard, kettle-drums, war material, and other booty to a vast amount, fell into the hands of his rival. After this disaster, Kaba-jah fled towards Uchchah, whither I-yal-timish appears not to have been then prepared to follow him. I-yal-timish remained some time at Lahor to arrange its affairs ; and, having published the news of his success in all parts, conferred the government of that ud-Din, Yal-duz, and was overthrown by the Khwajah, the Mu-ayyid-ul-Mulk, Muhammad-i-’Abd-ullah, the Sanjari, who was the Wazir of the kingdom of Ghaznin.
