244.4.7

On reaching Hansi ’Imad-ud-Din-i-Rayhan became Wakil-i-Dar [Representative in Dar-bar], and he took into his own hands the direction of affairs within the hall of the pavilion of majesty, and, according to the promptings of that envy and malevolence, the office of Kazi of the kingdom was taken from this servant of the state, Minhaj-i-Saraj, in the month of Rajab of the before-mentioned year, and was committed to Kazi Shams-ud-Din, the Bharaiji; and, on the 17th [27th?] of the month of Shawwal, [the Sultan and his forces] returned to the capital. Malik Saif-ud-Din, I-bak-i-Kashli Khan—on whom be peace!—who was the brother of Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, the Amir-i-Hajib they sent to the fief of Karah, and the office of Deputy Amir-i-Hajib was consigned to Malik ’Izz-ud-Din-i-Balban the son-in-law of Kutlugh Khan. Every one holding an office or employment which appertained to Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam’s patronage was removed and transferred; and the established affairs of a quiet kingdom were deranged by the pernicious counsel of ’Imad-ud-Din-i-Rayhan.
