Khazaʾin al-futuh 14.8

14.8

On Friday, the 6th of Shawwal, the Rai sent Balak Deo Naik, Narsin Deo, and Jit Mal, with some other basiths, to bow before the royal canopy, and they were accompanied by six elephants. Next day some horses followed. On Sunday, "Billal Deo, the sun-worshipper, seeing the splendour of the sword of Islam over his head, bowing down his head, descended from his fortress, and came before the shadow of the shadow of God; and, trembling and heartless, prostrated himself on the earth, and rubbed the forehead of subjection on the ground." He then returned to fetch his treasures, and was engaged all night in taking them out, and next day brought them before the royal canopy, and made them over to the king's treasurer. The commander remained twelve days in that city, "which is four month's distance from Dehli," and sent the captured elephants and horses to that capital.
