Taghī still remained at bay. After Muhammad's death when Firuz ascended the throne, he went to Malik Nikbī, the chief Sardawātdār, Malik Bahrām Ghaznīn and Malik Nawād, commander of the right wing and offered to make submission. But he was insincere in his professions of loyalty, and wished to hoodwink the amirs. The author of the *Sirat-i-Firuz Shahi* writes: "God helped Firuz, and Taghī was killed by some amir. On the day the Sultan entered the capital, he received the news of Taghī's death and all the maliks and amirs submitted to him."¹⁶¹
