12.1.1

الهند والسند الذي قدمنا عليه ولما مات السلطان تغلق استولى ابنه محمد على الملك من غير منازع له ولا مخالف عليه، وقد قدمنا أنه كان اسمه جونة، فلما ملك تسمى بمحمد، واكتنى بأبي المجاهد ، وكل ما ذكرت من شأن سلاطين الهند فهو مما أخبرت به وتلقيته أو معظمه من الشيخ كمال الدين بن البرهان الغزنوي قاضي القضاة (2) وأما أخبار هذا الملك فمعظمها مما شاهدته أيام كوني ببلاده.

[…] of Hind and Sind, to whom we came. When Sultan Tughluq died, his son Muḥammad took possession of the kingdom without anyone contesting or opposing him. We have already mentioned that his name was Jūna; when he became king he took the name Muḥammad and the kunya Abū al-Mujāhid. All that I have related about the sultans of Hind is what I was told and received, or most of it, from Shaykh Kamāl al-Dīn b. al-Burhān al-Ghaznawī, the chief qāḍī (2); as for the accounts of this king, most of them are what I witnessed during my time in his land.
