Trustworthy persons have related on this wise, that on Wednesday, the 9th of this same month, Hulau [or Hulaku], who was the head of the Mughal infidels [in ’Irak], fled discomfited before the troops of the Lord of the Faithful, Musta’sim B’illah, from the gate of Baghdad When the Sultan's troops issued forth for the purpose of carrying on war against the infidels, Maliks and Amirs, with bodies of troops, were appointed to all parts; and the centre [division] of the Sultan's [own] troops returned to the capital on the 1st of the month of Ramazan, where the Sultan continued for a period of five [seven?] months. On the 18th of the month of Zi-Hijjah of this same year, the kingdom of Lakhanawati was conferred upon Jalal-ud-Din, Mas'ud, son of [the late] Malik 'Ala-ud-Din, Jani.
