33.16.9
They were at this time abandoned by their ally, Sorddj-mull, the Djatt, who was shocked to see their shameless rapacity, and remorseless impudence. He quitted their camp without leave and retired to his fortress of Belem-gur. What had so much shocked the Djatt Prince was this.—They had stripped the Imperial Hall of Audience of its wainscoting, which was of silver, elegantly enamelled, and had sent it to the Mint; and without any respect for things, held sacred by all mankind, they had laid their sacrilegious hands upon the gold and silver vessels consecrated to the use of the monument of the sacred foot, and of the mausoleum of Saint Nizam-eddin; nor did they spare Mahmed-shah's mausoleum, which they stripped of its incensory, candelabres, lamps, and other utensils, all of solid gold, and of exquisite workmanship; all of which were torn away and sent to the Mint.
