Amir Sayf al-Dīn Yilbughā b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Jārkasī, an amir 40, passed away as a baṭṭāl on 04/03/0858, afer a long disease.
He was a Turk, and was originally a mamluk of Jārkas al-Qāsimī al-Muṣāriʿ. After the death of his ʾustādh, be became a khāṣṣakī, which he remained for many years, without any attention being paid to him in the (successive) governments. He became an old man, and used to dye his beard black, until his luck and the luck of his khushdāsh, Qānī Bāy al-Jārkasī, were set in motion, during the government of al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Jaqmaq, who was the brother of Jārkas, the ʾustādh of these two unfortunate ones. When Jaqmaq became sultan, he promoted Yilbughā amir 10, and appointed him as raʾs nawba to his son, al-Maqām al-Nāṣirī Muḥammad. Then he appointed him as nāʾib of Damietta. Following, he removed him (from that post) and made him amir 40. He remained thus until al-Malik al-ʾAshraf ʾĪnāl took his ʾiqṭāʿ, - he did well in doing so! He remained a baṭṭāl until he died, as was related before. He was one of the evils of his age. God have mercy upon him!
