This Darwesh began to interfere in state affairs. Before this the Darwesh in question had dwelt at the town of Mihir, and had been persecuted by Kazi Shams-ud-Din of Mihir. At this time, that the Darwesh’s words were revered by, and he had acquired ascendancy over, Sultan Mu’izz-ud-Din, Bahram Shah, he used his endeavours until the Sultan had Kazi Shams-ud-Din of Mihir thrown before the feet of an elephant. As soon as this catastrophe became known, the people again became wholly afraid of the Sultan. In order to repel the infidel Mughals who were then before the gates of the city of Lohor, the Sultan nominated Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, son of 'Ali, the Ghuri, along with the Wazir \[the Khwajah, Muhazzab-ud-Din\], and several Amirs and Maliks, with the forces of Hindustan, to advance towards Lohor, for the purpose of guarding the frontiers. - [Previous: 198.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.198.8) - [Next: 198.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.198.10) - [Up: 198](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.198) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.198.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.198.9) · Pramāṇa
