The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 45.2.4

45.2.4

All our affairs, on occasions of mirth or mourning, are conducted and completed through their medium, and we agreed to pay the tax, and to subject ourselves to (a foreign) scorn (gazand), in the hope that every one would be permitted to continue in his own religion. Now our temples are lying desolate and in ruins, and we have no opportunity to worship our idols. We pray that our just commander will permit us to repair and construct these Budh temples and carry on our worship as before. And then our Brahmins will receive enough from us for their living.”
