After the decease of his father, Mahmud, he came to Ghaznin, and took the government of his father’s dominions into his own hands. Several times he led armies into Hindustan, and carried on holy wars as by law enjoined. On another occasion he marched into Tabaristan and Mazandaran; and, at the end of his reign, the Saljuks rose against him. On three several occasions he overthrew them in battle within the confines of Marw and Sarakhs; but, in the end, since it was the Divine will that the country of Khurasan should pass unto the race of Saljuk, he encountered them in battle in Tae-kan \[Tal-kan\], and for three successive days he assailed and struggled with them ; and on the third day, which was Friday, the Sultan was defeated, and retreated to Ghaznin by the way of Gharjistan. Through the great dread which had now overcome him, he collected his treasures together, and came towards Hindustan ; and at Marigalah his Turkish and Hindu slaves revolted against him, seized his person, and \[again\] set up his brother, Muhammad, upon the throne, and sent Mas’ud to the fortress of Giri; and, in 432 H., he was martyred. His age was forty-five years ; and the period of his reign was nine years, and a little over. His sons were Maudud, Majdud, Muhammad, Ibrahim, Izid-yar, Farrukh-zad, Shuja’, Mardan Shah, and ’Ali. - [Previous: 47.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.47.3) - [Next: 48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.48) - [Up: 47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.47) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.47.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.47.4) · Pramāṇa
