Tell me what I should do—\[and I will do it\].'" (Now Tambal was my father's foster brother.) My father continued: "Although I had been very badly treated by him, it made my heart sad to see him in this evil plight, and I asked: 'Why do you not strengthen the fortress?' Tambal replied: 'I cannot continue hostilities; what is to be done?' I answered: 'The only hope for the helpless is surrender.' Timur Sultan was present. Tambal at once came out of the fort with his brothers. He came in confusion and alarm, and threw his arms round my neck. They \[the Uzbeg\] granted him no respite, but that same hour put them all to the sword. They then closed the gates of the fort, and would not allow any kind of plunder or rapine to be carried on." - [Previous: 109.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.109.6) - [Next: 109.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.109.8) - [Up: 109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.109) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.109.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.109.7) · Pramāṇa
