c8.79

Ibn Batūtah relates that when Buzan became ruler of Transoxiana in place of Tarmāshirīn, the latter's son Shami ‘Ughli, his sister and his husband, Firuz, came to India. The Sultan of Hind who was a friend of Tarmāshirīn, received them kindly and extended his hospitality to them. After sometime a man came from the direction of Sindh who gave himself out as Tarmāshirīn. His identification proved that he was Tarmāshirīn. Khwajah Jahan, Ahmad Ayaz and Qutlugh Khan, the trustworthy amirs of the Sultan, told him that the presence of Tarmāshirīn was a great danger to the state especially when there were forty thousand men of his tribe settled in India. Under their advice the Sultan expelled him from his dominions.
