A few lines under, it is stated, that, on the 4th of Jamadi-ul-Akhir, 657 H., only the sixth month after Lakhanawati is said to have been conferred on Kutlugh [Kulich] Khan, two elephants, treasure, and other valuables, reached Dihli from Lakhanawati—some time must be allowed for Kutlugh [Kulich] Khan, so called, to have reached that part from Dihli, and some time also for the elephants, &c., to have arrived from thence—and that the sender of these things was not Kutlugh [Kulich] Khan, but Malik 'Izz-ud-Din, Balban-i-Yuz-Baki; Yuz-Bak [Yuz-Baki refers to a dependent or slave, in the same manner as the terms, Kutbi, Shamsi, and the like]; and, that, through Ulugh Khan's exertions and good offices, the investiture of Lakhanawati was conferred upon him, and that an honorary robe and other honours were despatched for him, stated above also, in this notice of Arsalan Khan-i-Sanjar.
