Habíbu-s Siyar of Khondamír (extracts) 25 - **Language:** English ### [25](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.tarikh.habib-al-siyar~en-elliot.25) When Farrukhzad placed the crown of sovereignty on his head, he committed the administration of affairs to Jarjir, and it was about the same time that Daud Saljuki, having obtained intelligence of the change which had happened in the prosperity of the Ghaznivides, hastened towards Ghaznin. Jarjir went out to oppose him with an army, and Daud was defeated, after he had fought his best with sword and arrow. The people of Ghaznin seized an immense quantity of plunder. After this, Farrukhzad, with a well-equipped and victorious army, exalted his triumphant standards towards Khurasan; and Kulsarik, having come out on the part of the Saljukians to meet him, became, along with many others, the victims of the powerful decree of fate. When Jakar Beg Saljuki heard of this, he sent his son Alp Arslan to encounter Farrukhzad. The Saljukians on this occasion were victorious, and took prisoners many of the chief men of Ghaznin; upon seeing which, Farrukhzad clothed Kulsarik in a robe of honour and set him free. This example was followed by the Saljukians with regard to their prisoners. Farrukhzad reigned six years, and died of colic in the year 450 H.
