50.3.1

Meean Kadir bin Sheikh Rajoo, Meean Abdool Khas, and Meean Allahdad of Toolumba. Syud Mahomed, bin Syud Khan of Delhy. Moolla Kootb-ood-Deen, and Moolla Allahdad Saleh from Surhind. Syud Aman, Syud Boorhan, and Syud Ahsun from Kanooj. Besides which were the learned men who usually attended the court; such as, Syud Sudur-ood-Deen of Kunowj. Meean Abdool Rahman of Seekry. Meean Azeez-oolla of Sumbhul. All these persons were present at this disputation. After many arguments, the learned men were of opinion, that unless the infidel, who had maintained the Hindoo worship to be equally acceptable to God as that of the true faith, should renounce his error, and adopt the Mahomedan religion, he ought to suffer death. The Hindoo refused to apostatise, and was accordingly executed, while the Mussulmen doctors were rewarded with gifts, and returned to their respective homes. When Khuvas Khan, whom we have already mentioned, entered Dehly, he found an order from the King to proceed to court. Syud Khan Lody was also recalled from Lahore, and being suspected of disaffection, he, together with Tartar Khan Firmully, and Mahomed Shah Lody, were banished to Guzerat. In the same year (A. H. 907) Man-Sing Ray of Gualiar sent one of his eunuchs, named Nehal, to the King, with rich presents, as ambassador; but this person having given offence at court, was ordered to quit it suddenly, without obtaining an audience.
