192.2.3

When Sultan Kutb-ud-Din, I-bak, died at Lohor, the Sipah-Salar [Commander of Troops] ’Ali-i-Isma’il, who was the Amir-i-Dad [Lord Justice] of the capital city, Dihli, in concert with other Amirs and high officials, wrote letters to Shams-ud-Din, I-yal-timish, at Buda’un, and besought him [to come thither and assume authority]. Having come, he ascended the throne of the kingdom of Dihli in the year 607 H., and took possession of it. As the Turks and Kutbi Amirs from different parts had gathered together before Dihli, and some of the Turks and Mu'izzi Amirs had also united with them, and were intent upon resistance [to this usurpation of authority on the part of I-yal-timish], they left Dihli, and came out, and they [all] combined in the immediate neighbourhood, and broke out into sedition and rebellion! The august Sultan, Shams-ud-Din, with the cavalry of the centre [contingents forming the centre division of the Dihli troops] and his own immediate followers, issued from the city of Dihli, and, in front of the plain of Jud, overthrew them, and put most of the leaders [of the party] to the sword.
