244.5.5

A number of Maliks and Amirs on both sides [now] spoke about a mutual accommodation of affairs, and the Sipah-Salar [leader of troops] Karah-Jamal, one of the personal slaves of Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, who was noted for manliness, arrived from his chief's camp, and the Amir of the black standard, Husam-ud-Din, Kutlugh Shah, that Amir of angelic attributes, of great sincerity, and excellent disposition, who was qualified above the other Amirs of Islam by his age, was nominated, on this side [the Court's], to treat, and [on the other side] the Sipah-Salar, Karah-Jamak, while Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain son of 'Ali, the Ghuri — on whom be peace! — made use of every effort and endeavour that was possible to bring the matter to an accommodation. The representation of the whole of the Maliks to His Majesty was this : We all bow our heads in submission to the mandates of the Court, the Asylum of the Universe, save that we are not safe from the malice, deceit, and iniquitous conduct of 'Imad-ud-Din-i-Rayhan. If he should be removed from before the sublime throne of sovereignty, and sent away to some part, we all will present ourselves and return to allegiance, and lay the head of servitude on the line of obedience to the sublime mandates.
