The inhabitants opposed him in his progress, but they were dispersed by the imperial troops with little opposition. Aba Kalunjar, the Prince of Tubristan, sent an ambassador, subjecting himself and his country to the King, at the same time sending his son Bahmun, and his nephew Sherooya, the son of Soorkhab, to meet the King in the province of Koorkan. Mu- Musaood from thence marched towards Ghizny, and arrived at Nyshapoor. The inhabitants continued to complain bitterly of the incursions of the Suljooks; and the King sent Boghtudy, and Hoosein the son of Michael, with a force to attack them. When the Ghiznevide army reached the village of Sendooz, a messenger came from the Toorkmans with a letter to the following purpose: that "they were the King's servants, and not at all desirous to disturb any body but his enemies, provided they were enabled, by receiving an annual subsidy, to live at home without plunder, or were led out to war, that they might exercise what they deemed their only profession." The answer of Boghtudy was imperious and haughty: "I hold no communion with you," said he, "but with the sword, unless you give over your depredations, and submit yourselves implicitly to the authority of the King." - [Previous: 8.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.8.2.1) - [Next: 8.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.8.2.3) - [Up: 8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.8.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.8.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.8.2.2) · Pramāṇa
