244.5.7

Malik Kutb-ud-Din, Husain, son of ’Ali, Ghuri, on becoming aware of this intention, despatched the Ulugh-i-Khas Hajib [the Chief Royal Chamberlain], the Sharf-ul-Mulk, Rashid-ud-Din, ’Ali, Hanafi, to Malik Bat Khan-i-I-bak, the Khita-i [saying] : — "It is advisable that you remain quiet in your own quarters to-morrow morning, and do not go to the entrance of the royal tent." As Malik Bat Khan-i-I-bak, in accordance with this advice, delayed proceeding to the entrance of the royal tent, the scheme of 'Imad-ud-Din-i-Rayhan with those hostile Turks did not succeed, and the grandees gained a knowledge of it. 'Imad-ud-Din-i-Rayhan, in obedience to the sublime mandate, was sent away from the royal camp towards Buda’un; and, on Tuesday, the 17th of the month of Zi-Ka’dah, the Sultan of Sultans, and the Maliks of the sublime Court, commanded this servant of the state, Minhaj-i-Saraj, for the purpose of effecting a reconciliation between both parties, so that he proceeded [to the other camp] and gave them pledges and guarantees. The next day, Wednesday, the 18th, Ulugh Khan-i-A'zam, with the other Maliks, returned and presented themselves at the sublime Court, and obtained permission to kiss the sovereign’s hand. Praise be to God for this and other blessings!
