The Nāṣirī Generations 236.3

236.3

When Sultan ‘Ala-ud-Din, Mas’ud Shah, ascended the throne, Tabarhindah was entrusted to his charge, and, subsequently, Lohor was made his fief. There he continued some time, when a feud arose between him and Malik Nasir-ud-Din, Muhammad of Bindar, and, subsequently, he began to rebel against the Court, for rashness and imperiousness were implanted in his nature and constitution, until Ulugh Khan-i-Mu’azzam, unexpectedly, brought him to the Court, and he was made much of. Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam likewise made a representation for the royal consideration so that Malik Yuz-Bak was distinguished by the Sultan’s favour, and his disobedient conduct was pardoned. Subsequently, for some time, Kinnauj was his fief, when he again began to act in a contumacious manner, and Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain [son of ‘Ali, the Ghuri], on whom be peace!—was despatched from the capital, at the head of a body of troops, against him. He reduced Malik Yuz-Bak to duty and obedience, and brought him back to the sublime Court again.
