The Nāṣirī Generations 244.10.5

244.10.5

May the Most High God long preserve the Sultan of Islam, Nasir-ud-Dunya wa ud-Din, Abu-l-Muzaffar-i-Mahmud Shah, upon the throne of sovereignty, and the prosperity of the Khakan-i-Mu-azzam, Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, in successive increase and augmentation, for the sake of Muhammad and his posterity! We have again returned to our history, and the last of the events thereof is this, that Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, having carried out, after the manner [before related], holy-war upon the infidels of the Koh-payah with such condign severity, a large number of the remainder of the kinsmen of those rebels, who, previous to that, had escaped from the neighbourhood of the Koh-payah from the hand of the troops and defenders of Islam — may victory ever attend them ! — and fled into different parts, and, by great stratagems, had managed to preserve their abominable lives under the protection of flight from the keen swords of the retainers of Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam’s house, began, a second time, to renew their sedition, and commenced to infest the roads and to shed the blood of Musalmans, and, by reason of the violence of that gathering, the roads were perilous.
