THE ATA-BAK, YUZ-BAK, SON OF MUHAMMAD, US-SANJARI. Tabakat-i-Nasiri 82 - **Language:** English ### [82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.82) The Ata-bak, Yuz-bak, was sovereign of Azarbaijan. Some have said that he was the brother of the Ata-bak, Muhammad, son of the Ata-bak, I-lat-giz, the Sanjari. Yuz-bak was a man of energy and experience, and reigned over the territory of Azarbaijan for a considerable time. He continued in possession of it until the reign of Sultan Muhammad, Khwarazm Shah. Upon several occasions the forces of Khwarazm Shah were appointed to act against him, but he did not fall into their hands, until he advanced into ’Irak, being eager for the possession of Isfahan, and hostilities were going on between him and the Ata-bak of Fars, Sa’d \[son of Zangi\]. Unexpectedly, Sultan Muhammad, Khwarazm Shah, came upon them. The Ata-bak, Yuz-bak, was defeated and completely overthrown, and Azarbaijan passed out of his possession, and he died. - [Previous: 81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.81) - [Next: 83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.83) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.82) · Pramāṇa
