KIDMAN.

Ghuzz Turkomans, who plundered and half-ruined Bardasir,
and temporarily made Zarand the capital of the province. The
power of the Saljfiks was then on the wane, and in 619 (1222) all
Kirman passed under the sway of the short-lived dynasty generally
known as the Karakhitay. Kutluk Khan, the first prince of this
line, is described by Mirkhwand as taking possession of c the city
of Kirman,' and later it is stated that he was buried in the
Madrasah, or college, which he himself had caused to be built
'in the quarter called Turkabad, outside the city of Kirman. ?
On the other hand, both Mustawfi in his Guztdah, and Ibn
Ibrahim in the Saljiik chronicle, state that Kutluk Khan, in the
year 619 (1222), took possession of 4 the city of Bardasir' (or
Guwashir as the Guzidah has it), thus becoming ruler of all the
Kirman kingdom. Lastly the contemporary authority of Yak lit
gives Bardasir as the name at this time (13th century a.d.) of the
capital of Kirman 1 .
The Mongol conquest of Persia did not materially affect
Kirman, and the daughter of the last prince of the Karakhitay in
the first years of the 8th (14th) century married the Muzaffarid
ruler of Fars, who afterwards took over the province of Kirman,.
under Mongol overlordship. Mustawfi, speaking of the capital
Guwashir, otherwise Bardashir, describes the Old Mosque as
dating from the close of the 1st century of the Hijrah, and the
reign of the Omayyad Caliph 'Omar II, who died in 720 a.d.
He also speaks of the garden laid out by the Buyid governor
Ibn Ilyas, called Bagh-i-Sirjani, namely, 4 the garden of him who
came from Sirjan,' which when he wrote in 730 (1330) was still
flourishing. Ibn Ilyas, Mustawfi adds, had also built the castle
on the hill, already recorded as having been described by Mu-
kaddasi, and within the town there was the mosque called the
Jami'-i-Tabrizi, founded by Ttiran Shah, the Saljiik, and the
celebrated shrine over the grave of the saint Shah Shuja c Kirmam.
A somewhat later authority, Hafiz Abrli, states that Turkhan
Khattin, daughter of Kutluk Khan of the Karakhitay, in the year
666 (1268), erected a magnificent Jami' (Friday Mosque) in
1 Mst. Guzidah, Chapter iv, section x, Reign of Burak Hajib. Ibn
Ibrahim, 4, 54, 200, 201. Mirkhwand, part iv. 104, 105, 128, 129. Yak. iv.
