Táríkh-i Fíroz Sháhí of Shams-i Siráj 'Afíf (extracts) 82 - **Language:** English ### [82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.82) Tátár Khán was of Turkí origin. \* \* \* In the reign of Ghiyásu-d dín Tughlik Ghází, a king of Khurásán made an attack upon Multán and Dípálpúr, and was ravaging and wasting that country. He had a wife, a very handsome woman, from whom he could not bear to be absent, and so he took her with him on his campaign. She was pregnant, and was delivered of a child in the neighbourhood of Multán and Dípálpúr. On that same night, Sultán Tughlik made an attack upon the army of her husband, which he defeated and put to flight. In the confusion the child was left in its cradle. \* \* \* and was found by the soldiers of Sultán Tughlik. The Sultán was pleased with the child, brought him up like a son, and gave him the name of Tátár Malik. He was young when that Sultán died, but grew up in the reign of Sultán Muhammad, and became distinguished for his courage, intrepidity, and military talents. \* \* \* In the reign of Fíroz Sháh, he obtained the title of Tátár Khán \[and many marks of distinction\]. \* \* \* He collected a great number of commentaries on the Kurán, and having secured the assistance of a number of learned men, \* \* \* he produced the commentary which he called the Tafsír-i Tátár Khání. He also compiled a law book, called the Fatáwa-i Tátár Khání. \* \* \* He died some years after the accession of Fíroz Sháh. - [Previous: 81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.81) - [Next: 83.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.83.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-firuzshahi-afif~en-elliot.82) · Pramāṇa
