10.2.3

On the 24th Zi-l hijja five of Khusru’s followers were captured and brought in. Two of them who had entered into his service I ordered to be cast before elephants ; the other three denied having undertaken to serve him, and they were placed under restraint till the truth could be ascertained. * * On the 24th Farwardin, a messenger arrived from Dilawar Khan to inform me that Khusru was threatening Lahore, and to warn me to be cautious. On that same day the gates of Lahore were closed and secured, and two days afterwards Dilawar Khan entered the fortress with a few men. He immediately began to strengthen the place, repairing damages, mounting guns on the ramparts, and making all preparations for a siege. There was but a small force of troops in the place, but they were earnest, and had been appointed to their respective posts. The men of the city also were loyal and zealous.
