Subsequently to these events, the author of this work chanced, upon two occasions, to undertake journeys into the Kuhistan on the subject of a mission: the first time, in the year 621 H., and, on the second occasion, in 622 H. Afterwards, in the year 623 H., on the part of Malik Ruknud-Din, Muhammad-i-’Usman, the Maraghani, of Khaesar [of Ghur], the author proceeded to the presence of Malik Taj-ud-Din, Binal-Tigin, the Khwarazmi; and, in the same year, on the part of Malik Taj-ud-Din, Binal-Tigin, he went on another mission to the Badshah of the Kuhistan, to Neh and to Sistan. After this the author set out [on his journey] towards Hindustan. Taj-ud-Din, Binal-Tigin [subsequently?], came to Tulak, and the people of that fortress paid obeisance to him, and he removed [some of?] them to Sistan. In the disaster of Sistan, they all attained martyrdom, and [the remainder of?] that people continued there [at Tulak]. The Amir of Tulak [at that time?] was Hizabr-ud-Din, Muhammad, son of Mubarak, and he went to Kyuk Khan, and, up to this present day, his children hold that fortress.
