Tabakat-i-Nasiri 212 - **Language:** English ### [212](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.212) When the new year of 653 H. came round, an uncommon thing happened, and it was on this wise, that the decrees of destiny suffered the blessed heart of the Sultan to change towards his mother, the Malikah-i-Jahan; and, as she was married \[a second time\] to Kutlugh Khan, command was given to both of them that Awadh should be their fief, and that they should proceed to it. In conformity with this command, they repaired to their fief; and this circumstance happened on Tuesday, the 6th of the month of Muharram of this year. When the month of Rabi'-ul-Awwal came round, on Sunday, the 23rd of the same month, the Sultan of Islam, — May his sovereignty continue! — entrusted to the charge of this servant of the state, Minhaj-i-Saraj, under the same covenant as on a previous occasion, the Kazi-ship of the realm and jurisdiction over the capital city, Dihli. In the month of Rabi’-ul-Akhir, they conveyed to the hearing of the Sultan a remark from Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, son of ’Ali, the Ghuri, who was Nayab \[Lieutenant\] of the kingdom, which was contrary to the sublime opinion, and, on Tuesday, the 23rd of Rabi’-ul-Akhir, he cited Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, and ordered him to be arrested and imprisoned; and that Malik obtained martyrdom—Almighty God long preserve the monarch of Islam! On Monday, the 7th of Jamadi-ul-Awwal, the fief of Mirath was assigned to Malik Kashli Khan, Saif-ud-Din, I-bak, the Sultani Shamsi, Ulugh Kutlugh-i-A’zam, the Bar-Bak \[the full brother of Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam\], after he had presented himself at court, subsequent to his return from Karah—The Almighty's mercy be upon him! On Tuesday, the 13th of the sacred month of Rajab of this same year, the office of Shaikh-ul-Islam \[patriarch\] of the Capital was consigned to that Bayazid of the age, the Shaikh-ul-Islam, Jamal-ud-Din, the Bustami; and, in this month likewise, Malik Taj-ud-Din-i-Sanjar, the Sihwastani, managed to get out of Awadh, and ousted Imad-ud-Din-i-Rayhan from Bhara’ij, and he departed on a journey from this world. In the month of Shawwal of this year likewise, the Sultan with his forces departed from the capital towards Hindustan \[i. e. east of the Jun\]; and, on Sunday, the 17th of the month of Zi-Ka’dah, Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam set out for Hansi for the purpose of organizing the affairs of the Siwalikh contingent, and, having got those troops ready, returned to the capital, Dihli, with them; and, on Wednesday, the 19th of the month of Zi-Hijjah, at the close of this year, he joined the royal camp \[with his contingent\]. Previous to this a peremptory command had been issued that Malik Kutlugh Khan \[the Sultan's step-father\] should leave the province of Awadh, and proceed to the fief of Bhara'ij, and he had not obeyed that mandate; and Malik Bak-Tamur, the Rukni, was directed to proceed from the capital with a force and expel him \[from Awadh\]. The forces on either side came in contact in the neighbourhood of Buda’un and Malik Bak-Tamur was martyred. On this, the Sultan with his forces set out towards Awadh for the purpose of remedying this mishap; and, on his arrival in that part, Malik Kutlugh Khan retired before him, and the Sultan moved towards Kalair. Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam \[with a part of the army\] followed in pursuit of Malik Kutlugh Khan, but did not meet with him, and, with great booty, he rejoined the Sultan's \[camp\]. - [Previous: 211](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.211) - [Next: 213](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.213) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.212](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.212) · Pramāṇa
