73

Muhammad Kasim built at Nirun a mosque on the site of the temple of Budh, and ordered prayers to be proclaimed in the Muhammadan fashion, and appointed an Imam. After remaining there some days, he prepared to go to Siwistan, which is situated on an eminence to the west of the Mihran. He determined to conquer the whole country, and after the capture of Siwistan, to recross the river, and proceed against Dahir. God grant that his resolution may be fulfilled!
