the other princes, to the one he gave the title of Bahrain Khan, 
another he called Zafar Khan, a third Mahmud Khan, and the 
fourth was called Nu^rat Khan. Upon Bahrain Aibahhe conferred 
the dignity of brotherhood, giving to him the title of Kushlii 
Khan, and the government of Multan, and the district of Sind. 
His brother’s son, Malik Asaduddm, he caused to be made Naib 
Barbak (Deputy Grand Usher) and Malik Bahauddin, his sister’s 
son, he raised to the dignity of General of the Forces, and confer¬ 
red upon him the province of Sam&na. His son-in-law, Malik 
Shadi, was appointed to be president of the Council of Ministers. 
To Tatar Khan who was his adopted son, he gave the name of

dar was made Naib Wakil, and Qutlugh Khan, Naib of the 
Wazlrs of Deogir. Qazi Kamaluddin was made principal judge :

To Malik Tajuddin Ja’far was entrusted the governorship of Guj- 
rat. Other Maliks also he appointed to be his helpers and com¬ 
panions in affairs of state. And to others also he gave office and lands, 
and by means of these men, the government of his kingdom was ad¬ 
ministered with exceeding honour, and all men rejoiced because of 
them, so that their greatness and their power was written upon all 
hearts, and because of them the order and the power of his king¬ 
dom were established. Also Sultan Gliiasuddin Tughluq Shah, 
being a prince of experience in the affairs of empire, during 
the four years that he reigned, was careful never to exalt any man 
at once to such honour and power as to cause him to be presump¬ 
tuous, or to stumble from excess of pride. Nor also, because of 
neglect or bad service, was any man to be punished so as to cause 
others to be disheartened ; nor did he ever speak or act in regard to 
such as had done good service, in a way that should shake the 
confidence of men. So that the couplet of Amir Khusrau may be 
quoted of the government of Sultan Ghiasuddfn Tughluq Shah, and 
in praise of his justice and his moderation— 
“ He did nothing but with excellent knowledge and wisdom.
