MALIK SAIF-UD-DIN, I-BAK-I-YUGHAN-TAT. Tabakat-i-Nasiri 223 - **Language:** English ### [223](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.223) Malik Saif-ud-Din, I-bak-i-Yughan-tat, was a Khita-i Turk, and was, both externally and internally, adorned and endowed with divers manly qualities. The august Sultan \[Shams-ud-Din, I-yal-timish\] had purchased him from the heirs of Ikhtiyar-ud-Din-i-Chust-Kaba \[of the tight-fitting vest\], and he distinguished him by his intimacy, and conferred upon him the office of Amir-i-Majlis \[Lord of the Assembly or Council\]. After he had performed good service in that appointment, he was raised to a high position, and the fief of the district of Sursuti was bestowed upon him. At the time of this honour being conferred upon him, he gave directions for the presentation of a horse to \[each\] of the Amirs, Maliks, and Grandees; and this gift caused him to be remembered, and his acquirement of some influence. In the year 625 H., at the time that the author found the Sultan’s camp in the territory of Uchchah of Multan, Malik Saif-ud-Din, I-bak, was the feudatory of Sursuti, and, in the presence of the Sultan, he possessed much influence and intimacy; and when, after some time, he had done distinguished services, the fief of Bihar was entrusted to his charge. On Malik ’Ala-ud-Din, Jani’s being deposed from the fief of Lakhanawati, that country was made over to Malik Saif-ud-Din, I-bak. In that territory he displayed great vigour, and captured several elephants from the country of Bang, and despatched them to the most sublime Court; and, from the Sultan, he received the title of Yughan-tat, and his name became great. He held the government of that country for some time, and in the year 631 H. he died. The Almighty’s mercy and pardon be upon him! - [Previous: 222](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.222) - [Next: 224.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.224.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.223](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.223) · Pramāṇa
