The King now prevailed on Ally Bin Rubeea, who had usurped the Ghiznevide conquests in India, to return to his allegiance, and to come to Ghizny. Noshtugeen Hajib being appointed ruler over the provinces east of the Indus, and having received the rank of an Ameer, proceeded with an army to Lahore. Here having heard that Nagrakote had fallen into the hands of the Hindoos, he proceeded, and laid siege to that place, and on the 6th day scaling the walls took it by assault. Toghrul Hajib, also, who had been raised to the rank of a noble by Modood, and who married his daughter, was now sent to reduce Seestan, at this time in a state of revolt, and which he soon brought under subjection. Impelled by a spirit of ambition, he conceived hopes of gaining the crown; and raising a great army, marched towards Ghizny. Sooltan Abool Rusheed, almost destitute of troops, was compelled to remain shut up within the town, which shortly fell into the hands of Toghrul, where the King with nine of the blood-royal were inhumanly put to death by the usurper, who forcibly espoused a princess of the house of Ghizny (the daughter of the late Sooltan Musaood), previously to ascending the throne. Toghrul did not long enjoy the fruits of his wickedness. - [Previous: 13.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.13.1) - [Next: 13.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.13.3) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.13.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.13.2) · Pramāṇa
