The Nāṣirī Generations 258.6.7

258.6.7

The place was sacked, and all the vast treasures of gems, gold, and other precious things, fell into the hands of the barbarian Mughals, to such an amount that, besides precious stones and the like, ten thousand thousand—10,000,000 miskals [about drachms each] of red gold, and 1000 kharwars—a load sufficient for an ass—of silken fabrics, clothes, etc., were among the spoils. This booty was sent, along with the unfortunate Turkan Khatun, her children, grandchildren, and connexions, and Nasir-ud-Din, the Wazir, towards Samrkand, to the camp of the Chingiz Khan; but, on their way thither, they found that his camp was then in the neighbourhood of Tal-kan [Nasr-koh of Tal-kan of Khurasan, as our author states farther on]. When the captives were brought before him, the Wazir, Nasir-ud-Din, was forthwith put to death, together with all the male children of the Sultan’s family, however young. What befel the females may be imagined. I shall have something more to say respecting them and their cruel fate farther on. After that, when Sultan Jalal-ud-Din was defeated on the banks of the Sind, and his haram too fell into the power of the Mughals, the females were sent to join Turkan Khatun and were all kept together in one place.
