114

[Text, vol. iii. p. 835.] A party of Lohanis who had come to Ghazni upon business had been attacked from an ambush by the Hazaras. After seven days’ fighting, they were compelled by thirst to retire, and they then sought the aid of Jalala. He went with them into Ghazni, in the disguise of a merchant. When they were attacked by the men of Sharif Khan, and by the raiyats, Jalala tried to get them back again to their homes. Again the Hazaras fell upon them and scattered them abroad. Jalala was wounded and carried to the hills, where he was put to death by Murad Beg and other intelligent men.
