244.1.8

When the Mu’izzi sovereignty began to totter, and the Maliks, in concert together, appeared before the gate of the city [of Dihli], and the whole of the Amirs and Maliks conspired among themselves, Ulugh Khan-i-Azam—May his power be perpetuated!—who was feudatory of Riwan, in concert with other Maliks and Amirs, displayed so much sagacity in ascertaining the aims and intentions of the Maliks, that among the whole of them—Turk or Tajzik, not one attained to the hundredth part thereof; and the whole [of them] admitted his firmness, heroism, intrepidity, and enterprise to be greater than that of all the Maliks and Amirs of that period. On the city being taken, the fief of Hansi was made over to his charge, and, on that territory coming under his control, he turned his attention to its cultivation and improvement; and the people, from the effects of his justice and conspicuous liberality, became contented and prosperous.
