Now that the affairs of Sultan Raziyyat’s government became arranged, she gave the office of Wazir to the Khwajah Muhazzab, who was the deputy of the Nizam-ul-Mulk, and he likewise received the title of Nizam-ul-Mulk. The charge of the army, as her lieutenant, was conferred upon Malik Saif-ud-Din, I-bak-i-Bihak, who received the title of Kutlugh Khan; and Malik ’Izz-ud-Din, Kabir Khan-i-Ayaz, received the fief of Lohor, and the kingdom became pacified, and the power of the state widely extended. From the territory of Lakhanawati to Diwal and Damrilah, all the Maliks and Amirs manifested their obedience and submission. Suddenly, Malik Saif-ud-Din, I-bak-i-Bihak, died, and the charge of the army was bestowed upon Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, son of ’Ali, Ghuri and he was appointed to [march and relieve] the fortress of Rantabhur, because the Hindus, after the decease of the august Sultan, Shams-ud-Din, I-yal-timish, had, for a considerable time, invested that preserved town and stronghold. Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, conducted the forces to that part, withdrew the Musalman Amirs [and their troops?] out of that fortification, destroyed the works, and retired, and returned to the capital again.
