Sultan Shuhab-ood-deen, leaving Kootb-ood-deen Abeek in his place at Delhi, marched towards Khorasan. On the news of his death reaching Kootb-ood-deen, he raised the royal standard, and read his own name in the sermon (Khootbah). From that date he was styled Sultan Kootb-ood-deen. The whole country of Hindoostan and Sind came into his hands, and thus they remained until the year Hijree 607 (A. D. 1210), in which year, at Lahore, he was engaged in games on horseback in the plain, when, being thrown from his horse, the ready money of his life was won by death. For four years his name was read in the sermon.
