The Nāṣirī Generations 242.7

Whilst Malik Kashli Khan filled the office of Amir-i-Hajib, he studied so much to please the great, the middle rank, and the least in degree, as the pen cannot write, and showed such regard and favour towards the Turk Maliks, the Tajzik nobles, and the Khalj Amirs, as cannot be contained within the limits of writing. All hearts became filled with good-will towards him, and all persons felt obliged by his favours. When the Khan-i-Mu’azzam, Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, departed for Nag-awr, they gave the khittah [district or territory] of Karah to the Amir-i-Hajib, Kashli Khan, his brother, and to that part he proceeded. When Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam returned to the Court again, the Amir-i-Hajib returned likewise, and he became Amir-i-Hajib the second time.
