ABSTRACT

Malik Shah, after fifteen days, came down one night with a rope by way of a waterspout which overlooked the plain. He had made arrangements with a page, and he had a horse well prepared and equipped for him. He mounted and fled. He went to the region of Khuzistan. His sister Gawhar Nasab was more inclined to him. One day she left Isfahan in the direction of Khuzistan, and she took gold and kingly accoutrements by the

donkey-load for her brother, so that the army would gather around him. Sultan Mul).ammad was informed of this situation. He sent Atabeg Ayaz with an army, with the result that they took all of that money and those treasures and plundered them. Malik Shah did not have the strength to stand and fight against his brother.
