The Nāṣirī Generations 276.3

276.3

The accursed Jurmaghun, who was the commander of the infidel Mughals, pitched his camp in the neighbourhood of Kum and Kashan, and some [of his forces] he despatched on incursions into Pars and Kirman. The Ata-Bak, Abu-Bikr of Pars, who is the sovereign of that territory, and likewise the brother of the Hajib, Burak, the Khita-i, who had become ruler of Gawashir and Kirman, entered into an accommodation with the Mughal forces, and agreed upon a fixed sum as tribute which they should pay them yearly. The territories of Pars and Kirman, through that conclusion of peace, became tranquillized, and remained safe from the molestation of the forces of the Mughal infidels. The whole of the remainder of the cities of 'Irak, Azarbaijan, and Tabaristan, were ruined and destroyed. At this period, likewise, armies of Mughals were nominated to march from the side of Turkistan into the territories of Kabul, Ghaznin, and Zawulistan; and Malik Saif-ud-Din, Hasan, the Karlugh — the Almighty’s mercy be upon him! — when he saw, on several occasions, that he could not resist the power of the infidel Mughals except in the way of enduring vassalage, submitted to be dependent on them, and consented to receive Shahnahs [Intendants]; and the Maliks of Ghur and Khurasan likewise all obtained Shahnahs.
