Muhammad Kasim then entered the gate. All the citizens had come to the temple of Nau-vihar, and were prostrating themselves and worshipping the idol. Muhammad Kasim asked what house it was, that all the great men and the nobles were kneeling before it, and making prostrations. He was told that it was a temple called Nau-vihar. Muhammad Kasim ordered the door of the temple to be opened, and he saw an image mounted on a horse. He went in with his officers, and found that it was made of hard stone, and that golden bracelets, ornamented with rubies and other precious stones, were on its hands. Muhammad Kasim stretched out his hand and took off one of the bracelets. He then called the keeper of the temple of Budh Nau-vihar, and said, "Is that your idol?" He replied, "Yes; but it had two bracelets, and now it has only one."
Muhammad Kasim said, "Does not your god know who has got his bracelet?" The keeper hung down his head. Muhammad Kasim laughed, and gave back the bracelet to him, and they replaced it on the hand of the idol.
