190.1.5

It was heard [by the author] on this wise, that, when the august Sultan, Shams-ud-Din [I-yal-timish], after the decease of Malik Nasir-ud-Din, Mahmud Shah [his eldest son], came into the territory of Lakhanawati to suppress the sedition of Malik Ikhtiyar-ud-Din-i-Balka, the Khalj, and beheld the good works of Ghiyas-ud-Din, 'Iwaz, the Khilj, whenever mention of Ghiyas-ud-Din, ’Iwaz’s name chanced to arise, he would style him by the title of “Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, Khalji,” and from his sacred lips he would pronounce that there could be no reluctance in styling a man Sultan who had done so much good. The Almighty’s mercy be upon them! In short, Ghiyas-ud-Din, ’Iwaz, the Khalj, was a monarch worthy, just, and benevolent. The parts around about the state of Lakhanawati such as Jaj-nagar, the countries of Bang, Kamrud, and Tirhut, all sent tribute to him ; and the whole of that territory named Gaur passed under his control. He acquired possession of elephants, wealth, and treasures, to a great amount.
