sons, the coinage of the 'Alai government had become (to a certain 

 degree) established ; but it was now still further confirmed by this 

 victory over the Mughuls, and the Sultan's power and authority were 

 vastly augmented. Proclamations of the victory were published 

 throughout the city, drums beaten, pavilions erected, rejoicings made, 

 and festivities celebrated. Now that the 'Alai Government had been thus 

 consolidated, the whole of the Jalali Maliks, in each town and through- 

 out the army, who had turned their backs upon their master, and gone 

 over to Sultan 'Alauddin, for which they had received maunds of gold, 

 and obtained various employments and estates, were seized, and while 

 some of them were cast into prison, and kept in confinement, others 

 were [blinded and] executed forthwith. All the wealth that they had 

 received from Sultan 'Alauddin was confiscated together with their 

 household goods, and property ; their dwelling-houses being converted

 second, Malik Nasiruddin Ranah, custodian of the elephants, and 

 third, Amir Jamil,* father of Qadr Khan. These three individuals 

 did not desert Sultan Jalaluddin and his sons, nor would they 

 take any money from Sultan 'Alauddin, and they* alone remained 

 safe in consequence, while the rest of the Jalali Amirs were extermi- 

 nated root and branch. 



In the course of this year, Nucrat Khan collected by fines and taxes 

 a crore (of money), and lodged it in the treasury. 



In the third year of his reign, Ulugh Khan and Nucrat Khan 

 were deputed to Gujrat ; whither they accordingly led their army, 

 accompanied by several Amirs and Maliks, and a host of retainers, 

 and commenced ravaging and plundering Nahrwalah [Patan] and the 

 whole territory of Gujrat. Karan Rai of Gujrat thereupon fled 

 from Nahrwalah, and repaired to Ham Deo at Deogir, leaving his 

 wives and daughters! as well as his treasure and elephants to fall into
