I punished these incorrigible men severely, and opened again the closed up channels. The Hauz-i 'Aláí, or tank of 'Aláu-d dín, had no water in it, and was filled up. People carried on cultivation in it, and had dug wells, of which they sold the water. After a generation (karn) had passed I cleaned it out, so that this great tank might again be filled from year to year. The Madrasa (college) of Sultán Shamsu-d dín Altamsh had been destroyed. I rebuilt it, and furnished it with sandal-wood doors. The columns of the tomb, which had fallen down, I restored better than they had been before. When the tomb was built its court (sahn) had not been made curved (kaj), but I now made it so. I enlarged the hewn-stone staircase of the dome, and I re-erected the fallen piers (pushtí) of the four towers. Tomb of Sultán Mu'izzu-d dín, son of Sultán Shamsu-d dín, which is situated in Malikpúr. This had fallen into such ruin that the sepulchres were undistinguishable. I re-erected the dome, the terrace, and the enclosure wall. Tomb of Sultán Ruknu-d dín, son of Shamsu-d dín, in Malikpur. I repaired the enclosure wall, built a new dome, and erected a monastery (khdnkdh). Tomb of Sultdn Jaldlu-d din. This I repaired, and I supplied it with new doors. - [Previous: 1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.14) - [Next: 1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.16) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.15) · Pramāṇa
