175.3.1

When by God’s help they had passed through so many perils on the way and had reached the territory of Bhakkar, they pitched their tents at Lūhrī (Rūhrī) which is on the river bank and opposite Bhakkar. His Majesty took up his quarters in a garden on the environs which was unequalled for pleasantness and delight. Charming houses had been erected there and were made illustrious by his presence. The other gardens and houses were divided among his followers. M. Hindal went four or five kos and encamped, and some days afterwards made his station on the other side of the river. Yadgar Nasir Mīrza also settled afterwards on that side. Sultan Mahmud of Bhakkar, who was a servant of Mīrza Shah Husain Beg Arghūn, laid waste the Bhakkar territory and strengthened the fort. He also took away the boats from this (the east) side of the river, and anchored them under the fort. This Shah Husain Beg was the son of the Mīrza Shah Beg Arghūn who, when his Majesty Gītī-sitānī Firdaus-makānī took Qandahar from him came to Tatta and Bhakkar and brought all that country into his subjection. When the majestic army established the light (far) of its rendezvous at Luhri, a lofty mandate was sent to Sultan Mahmud calling upon him to pay his respects and to deliver up the fort to the royal servants.
