He was a Turk of short sight, but Almighty God had adorned him with all manly virtues and humanity, and he was endowed with great resolution, gallantry, and vigour, and possessed perfect sense, and sagacity. At the time that the writer of this Tabakat, Minhaj-i-Saraj, attached himself to the sublime Shamsi court, Malik Nusrat-ud-Din, Ta-yasa’i, was the feudatory of Jind \[Jhind\], Barwalah, and Hansi. After some time, as he had performed approved services, two years subsequent to the taking of the fortress of Gwaliyur, the august Sultan \[Shams-ud-Din, I-yal-timish\] entrusted Bhianah and Sultan-kot to his charge, together with the Superintendency of the territory of Gwaliyur, and he received directions likewise to make Gwaliyur \[the fortress\] his residence. The contingents of Kinnauj, and Mahir \[or Mihar\], and Maha’un were all placed under his control, in order that he might undertake an inroad into the Kalinjar and Qiandiri territories. In the year 631 H. he accordingly led an army from Gwaliyur towards the Kalinjar country, and the Rae of Kalinjar fled discomfited before him. He plundered the townships of that territory, and, in a very short period, obtained vast booty, in such wise, that, in the space of fifty days, the Sultan's fifth share was set down at twenty-five laks \[of jitals or dirams?\]. - [Previous: 223](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.223) - [Next: 224.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.224.2) - [Up: 224](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.224) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.224.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.224.1) · Pramāṇa
