Balka is not peculiar to the Ghaznawi rulers: it is a purely Turkish name. There is another Balka—Saif-ud-Din, I-bak-i-Balka Khan—in the List of Nasir-ud-Din, Mahmud Shah's Maliks at page 673, and, from what is said in the account of Malik Kashli Khan \[No. XXIV.\], there were many Khalj Amirs in the time of Nasir-ud-Din, Mahmud Shah. From the coin given by Thomas \[“Initial Coinage of Bengal,” page 367\], his titles and name—plate, fig. 9—are Abu-l-Ma’ali \[Thomas, himself, as mentioned at page 367, was in doubt about being correct, and thought it ended in—i-Daulat Shah, bin Mau-dud \[and there is nothing in the titular name of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din, who, before he came to the throne was entitled Husam-ud-Din-i-’Iwaz, to show that his name was not Mau-dud\], and, although he acknowledges the suzerainty of I-yal-timish, and styles him Sultan-ul-A’zam, he calls himself Shahan-Shah, and also inserts on his coin the name of the Khalifah, and, doubtless, had received a patent conveying the titles from Baghdad. The date on this coin, the only one that has come to light, I believe, is which may be either 627 or 629 H., the stubborn occurring again. - [Previous: 237.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237.12) - [Next: 237.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237.14) - [Up: 237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237.13) · Pramāṇa
