225.3

When the throne devolved upon Sultan Mu’izz-ud-Din, Bahram Shah, Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan was distinguished in the same manner, and was in the continual habit of sending for the service of the sublime Court offerings of great value. After the termination of the Mu’izzi dynasty, in the beginning of the ’Ala-i reign [the reign of Sultan ’Ala-ud-Din, Mas’ud-Shah], his confidential adviser, Baha-ud-Din, Hilal, the Suriani [Syrian], instigated him to take possession of the territory of Awadh, and Karah and Manik-pur, and An-desah-i-Bala-tar [Upper-most An-des—or Urna-desa]. In the year 640 H., when this author, with his dependents, and children, set out from the capital, Dihli, for Lakhanawati, when he arrived in Awadh, Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan had reached the country of Karah and Manik-pur. The author, taking his family along with him, proceeded from Awadh and waited on him; and Malik Tughril-i-Tughan Khan remained for sometime in that vicinity, close upon Awadh, but afterwards returned to Lakhanawati again. The author accompanied him.
