Zakariya al-Qazwini described him as "ruler of independent region of Shirvan" in his Aja'ib al-Makhluqat.[1] He accepted overlordship of Mongols as his coins dating 1256 and 1258 mention Möngke Khagan's name.
His name was also mentioned on a semi-ruined building dated 1257 located between Nağaraxana and Talışnuru villages of Shamakhi. According to Ibn al-Fuwati, he was executed by the order of Hulagu in 1260.[2]
