261.6

When by the favour of God, the gates of victory had been opened and the seditious had been punished, Kabul became on the following day the alighting place for blessed feet and a station of everlasting auspiciousness. First, His Majesty entered the citadel and had the joy of receiving his chaste ladies. After that he, according to his wont, proceeded to the Urta Bagh and freshened it by his fortunate presence. There he made arrangements for his subjects and dominions, rewarding the good servants and punishing the bad. Dīndār Beg, Haidar Dost Mughal Qanjī, and Mast ‘Alī Qurcī who had on many occasions shown disloyalty, were capitally punished in accordance with their deserts, and the public benefit. He exercised his genius in the distribution of justice. M. Sulaiman was loaded with gifts and dismissed to Badakhshan. M. Ibrahim remained for some days, as a special mark of favour, and then was sent to Badakhshan. And it was settled that in an auspicious hour he should be married to His Majesty's daughter Bakhshī Banū. His Majesty’s world-adorning heart engaged in the arrangement of affairs and exalted all the servants by his affability and benevolence.
