The Nāṣirī Generations 258.5.6

258.5.6

On the arrival of Jabah [Yamah] and Swfdae [Sahudah] at Hirat, they did not molest it because, when they entered that territory, the Malik of Hirat [Amin Malik, according to the Habib-us-Siyar, whose title was Yamin-ul-Mulk] sent an emissary to meet them, and to signify his submission and obedience, he, from their unexpected arrival, being in no condition to resist them; but such proceedings, on that Malik’s part, are contrary to the statements of our author and the tenour of that Malik’s life. See the account of Sultan Jalal-ud-Din’s coming to Ghaznin farther on. They were allowed to receive supplies, but were not admitted within the walls. The two leaders continued to follow each other towards Zawah; and, when Tukachar reached Hirat, he must needs refuse to believe the statement of the Malik’s submission to Jabah [Yamah] and Swidae [Sahudah], and commence hostilities. The Malik therefore, of necessity, had to defend himself [See note page 1014], and, in a conflict which ensued between the Mughals and Hiratis, Tukajar was killed, along with a great many of his force. This is a totally different person from the son-in-law of the Chingiz Khan killed before Nishabur.
