287.4.6

Malik Taj-ud-Din, Binal-Tigin, despatched a led horse, and a deputation of persons of note to receive him, and call him. When the author reached his presence, the Malik made a request, saying: “It behoveth thee to do the favour of effecting a peace, and to proceed into the Kuhistan. The son of Malik Rukn-ud-Din, Muhammad-i-'Usman, will accompany thee in this important enterprise—thou [wilt go] under the designation of an envoy, and he, under the name of a mediator.” In conformity with this solicitation, the author proceeded towards the Kuhistan. The Mulahidahs were then before the town of Neh; and, after having reached the confines of the Kuhistan, it was necessary to come back again; and the author proceeded to Neh, and the accommodation between Malik Taj-ud-Din, Binal-Tigin, and the Mulahidah Muhtashim, Shams, was effected.
