After four days’ very severe fighting, each day increasing in severity, it was carried, at last, sword in hand, the Ghuris defending every inch of the breach. Great numbers of them were slain and taken prisoners, but the latter were protected on making their submission while slaves and booty to a vast amount were captured. Mas’ud had it proclaimed that he gave up all gold, silver, slaves, and other booty to the troops, but that all arms and war materiel taken was to be brought to him. A great quantity was accordingly brought and laid before his tent, and such as was most valuable or rare he selected, and divided the rest among his soldiers. Of the prisoners, one half was made over to Bu-l-Hasan-i-Khalaf, and the other half to Sher-wan, for them to take to their own territories. Orders were also given to raze that stronghold, so that, from thenceforth, no rebel might take shelter therein. When the rest of the Ghuris found what had happened to the fortified town and the other stronghold, they began to fear, and became submissive and willing to pay tribute and obedience; and even War-mesh-i-Bat began to quake. He made intercession through Bu-l-Hasan-i-Khalaf and Sher-wan, and sent an envoy, tendered his submission, and increased the amount of tribute and contributions. - [Previous: 140.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.140.6) - [Next: 140.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.140.8) - [Up: 140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.140) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.140.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.140.7) · Pramāṇa
