Ascended the throne of sovereignty and seized upon the whole ^39. of his brothers with the exception of Bahrám Sháh who fled and went to Sulán Sinjar* who was the son of his maternal uncle.* In spite of all the apologies for Bahrám Sháh which Sulán Sinjar made the subject of several letters, Arsalán Sháh would not listen to him, and eventually Sulán Sinjar raised an army against him. He gave battle with thirty thousand cavalry and being defeated went to Hindustán. Sulán Sinjar remained forty days in Ghaznín and after presenting that country to Bahrám Sháh retraced his steps. Arsalán Sháh having collected a large army in Hindustán proceeded thence to attack Ghaznín, and Bahrám Sháh not being able to withstand him sought refuge in the fortress of Bámián and with the assistance of Sulán Sinjar having again seized Ghaznín and taken Arsalán Sháh captive put him to death in the year 510 H. (1116 A. D,). The reign of Arsalán Sháh had lasted for a period of seven years.*
