The son whom she bore, in time, rose to a high position, and had been a Wazir, and Hakim of Marw and its dependencies. He had, however, for some reason, been removed, prior to the Mughal invasion, and another person, who bore the title of Baha-ul-Mulk, son of Najib-ud-Din, had been appointed in his stead, and the Majir-ul-Mulk, Sharaf-ud-Din, Muzaffar, consequently, returned to the presence of the Sultan. When the Sultan, dreading lest he might fall into the hands of the barbarian Mughals, proceeded towards Mazandaran, he gave directions to all his Amirs to secure the fortresses of Khurasan, and to have them garrisoned and provided with catapults and other war engines, so as to afford protection to the people around, while of such places as could offer no opposition the unfortunate Sultan recommended the inhabitants to submit to the invaders on their appearing, and so save their lives, and to trust to the upshot of events. - [Previous: 263.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1.2) - [Next: 263.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1.4) - [Up: 263.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.263.1.3) · Pramāṇa
