They invited him to a feast, at a garden near by, when Salah-ud-Din, seizing the opportunity, stabbed him with his dagger and slew him. After having killed the Khar-post, the Shams-ul-Mulk, and Salah-ud-Din, before the deed became known, succeeded in throwing themselves into the city, and secured the citadel ; and the Ghuris became disunited, and, after two or three days, Yamin Malik \[the Yamin-ul-Mulk\] arrived at Ghaznah and assumed authority. Soon after came news that the Chingiz Khan had reached Tal-ikan, and 2000 or 3000 Mughals— 20,000 or 30,000 more likely — came in search of Yamin Malik \[the Yamin-ul-Mulk\] by way of the Garm-sir. He sallied out with a body of troops to encounter them ; but they, finding him too strong for them, did not venture to stand against him, and made a hasty retreat. Yamin Malik \[the Yamin-ul-Mulk\] pursued them as far as Bust and Tigin-abad ; but the Mughals had gone off in the direction of Hirat, and he, by way of Kusdar, proceeded into the Shoristan-— the Salt Desert between Hirat, the Kuhistan, and Sijistan. - [Previous: 261.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.1.2) - [Next: 261.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.1.4) - [Up: 261.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.1.3) · Pramāṇa
