I repaired this, and furnished it with sandal-wood doors. I repaired the wall of the dhdr-khdna, and the west wall of the mosque, which is within the college, and I also made good the tesselated pavement (farsh-i ta'shib). Tomb of Sultan Kutbu-d din and the (other) sons of Sultan 'Alau-d din, viz., Khizr Khan, Shddi Khdn, Farid Khdn, Sultan Shahdbu-d din, Sikandar Khdn, Muhammad Khan, 'Usman Khdn, and his grandsons, and the sons of his grandsons. The tombs of these I repaired and renovated. I also repaired the doors of the dome, and the lattice work of the tomb of Shaikhu-l Islam Nizdmu-l hakk wau-d din, which were made of sandal-wood. I hung up the golden chandeliers with chains of gold in the four recesses of the dome, and I built a meeting room, for before this there was none. Tomb of Malik Tdju-l Mulk Kafuri, the great wazir of Sultan 'Alau-d din. He was a most wise and intelligent minister, and acquired many countries, on which the horses of former sovereigns had never placed their hoofs, and he caused the khutba of Sultan 'Alau-d din to be repeated there. He had 52,000 horsemen. His grave had been leveled with the ground, and his tomb laid low. I caused his tomb to be entirely renewed, for he was a devoted and faithful subject. The Ddru-l dmdn, or House of Rest. This is the bed and resting place of great men. I had new sandal-wood doors made for it, and over the tombs of these distinguished men I had curtains and hangings suspended. - [Previous: 1.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.15) - [Next: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.17) - [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.1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.futuhat-i-firuzshahi~en-elliot.1.16) · Pramāṇa
