199.2

The provinces of Nag-awr, Mandaur, and Ajmir, were made over to Malik 'Izz-ud- Din, Balban-i-Kashlu Khan, and the territory of Buda’un was given to Malik Taj-ud-Din, Sanjar-i-Kik-luk. The writer of these words, on the fourth day from the capture of Dihli, requested permission to resign the Kazi-ship, and, for a period of twenty-six days, the office was in abeyance until the 4th of the month of Zi-Hijjah, when the office of Kazi was entrusted to Kazi ’Imad-ud-Din, Muhammad, the Shafurkani. The Khwajah, Muhazzab-ud-Din, the Nizam-ul-Mulk, acquired complete power over the kingdom, and appropriated [the district of] Kol as his own fief. Previous to this he had established the naubat, and stationed an elephant at the gate of his own residence. He took all functions out of the hands of the Turk Amirs, so that their hearts became greatly irritated [against him], and those Amirs, in concert together, put him to death, within the camp before the city [of Dihli], in the plain of the Rani’s Reservoir, on Wednesday, the 2nd of the month of Jamadi-ul-Awwal, 640 H.
