		After his death his outlying possessions in the west and north fell into the hands of the Seljuk Turks, while the Afghan house of Ghor finally dispossessed his descendants first of their remaining Afghans, and then of their Indian, dominions.

		On his death this empire started into independent existence under his Turkish viceroy, the founder of the Slave dynasty, and the Ghorids sank back into insignificant Afghan princes.
