Taj al-maʾathir 7: The Capture of Mirat.

7

"When the chief luminary threw its shade in the sign of Libra, and temperate breezes began to blow, after putting to flight the army of heat," Kutbu-d din marched from Kohram, "and when he arrived at Mirat — which is one of the celebrated forts of the country of Hind, for the strength of its foundations and superstructure, and its ditch, which was as broad as the ocean and fathomless — an army joined him, sent by the dependent chiefs of the country." The fort was captured, and a Kotwal appointed to take up his station in the fort, and all the idol temples were converted into mosques.
