"to this duty, and they sent news of our arrival to Qutb al-Mulk, the governor of the city of Multan. The principal emir of Sindh at that time was a Mamluk of the Sultan named Sartiz. He was one of the notable Mamluks before whom the Sultan's armies would parade. His name means sharp-headed, as Sar, with an open S and a silent R, means head, and T's, with a T and a Z, means sharp.

"retreat that Sultan Tughluq was among the Turks known as Karwana, with a fatha on the kaf, ra, sukun on the wa, and fatha on the nun, residents of the mountains between Sindh and Turk lands. He was of modest means, and came to Sindh in the service of some merchants. He was a kulwani, which is a horse herder. This was during Sultan Alauddin's reign, and his brother Uluq Khan was the governor of Sindh at the time.

They incur a tax of seven silver dinars per horse at Shashankar and at Multan, the base of Sindh."

"and he is currently with the King of India, where he will be mentioned later. In Samarkand, I met its judge known among them as Sadr al-Jahan, one of the scholars of noble character.

"and informed his companions that he wanted to head to India. Most of them turned back when they heard this, so he continued beyond the lands of Khorasan to Sindh.

They thought the Tartars had come to raid them and rushed to the city called Oja, informing its governor of what they heard."
