Banana, son of Hanzala Kalabi, 'Atiya Sa'lbi, Saram son of Abu Saram Hamadani, and 'Abdu-l Malik Madanni, with their horsemen, and Moka Bisaya at their head, and also Jazim, son of 'Umar Waladihi were sent with an army and supplies of provisions.
Jaisiya was informed of the march of the Arab army. He therefore left his place with all his property and family, and went by way of the sandy desert to the places called Jankan, 'Awara, and Kaya, in the territory of Jaipur. The 'Allafi deserted him. He thence proceeded to the territory of Takiya, and went away and determined to do homage to the king of Kashmir, which is towards Eosta on the boundary of Eoyam. This territory is all waste and desert. From that place he wrote to the Rai, whose capital lay amidst the hills. He stated that of his own free will, and with a sincere heart, he had come to wait upon him.
