When they stated this matter to the Sultan, he, at once, mounted, and that disaffected party became struck with amazement, and Badr-ud-Din, Sunkar, joined the Sultan, who returned, and held a council in his own royal residence, and forthwith a mandate was issued that Badr-ud-Din, Sunkar, should proceed to Buda'un, and that district was made his fief. Kazi Jalal-ud-Din, Kasani, was removed from the chief Kazi-ship, and Kazi Kabir-ud-Din, and Shaikh Muhammad-i-Shami together with him, became apprehensive, and left the city. After a period of four months, Malik Badr-ud-Din, Sunkar, returned to the capital, and, as the Sultan was incensed against him, he ordered him to be imprisoned; and the Sayyid, Taj-ud-Din, 'Ali, Musawi was also ordered to be imprisoned, and, at last, both of them were martyred. This occurrence totally changed the disposition of the Amirs, and all of them became frightened and apprehensive of the Sultan, and not one among them placed any further confidence in him. The Wazir, too, in order to avenge the wounds he had received, desired that all the Amirs, the Maliks, and the Turks should rebel against the Sultan. He continued to raise the Sultan’s apprehensions against the Amirs and Turks, and was exciting the fears of the Amirs against the Sultan, until, at last, this fact spread abroad like a pestilence, and was the cause of the dethronement of the Sultan, and rebellion among the people.
