### [110.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.110.3)

One of the trustworthy has related after the following manner:—One day Salah-ud-Din was engaged with Sultan Nur-ud-Din in the game at ball, and the ball fell between him and the Sultan. By his strength and agility, Salah-ud-Din, with one blow, bore away the ball from the Sultan in such a way, that, from the immense force with which his Chaugan struck it, the ball flew into the air so far that it became immersed in the light of the sun, and the shadow of it fell upon Nur-ud-Din. When the Sultan noticed this circumstance, his heart became so overpowered with wrath, that he threw down his Chaugan in a rage and left the course. This circumstance filled Salah-ud-Din with fear and apprehension, and he began to conceal himself from the Sultan’s sight, and seldom used to present himself to the Sultan’s observation.
