On the way back his brother, Sam, died of inflammation of the brain \[phrensy, according to some, a tumour, or small-pox, according to others\]. In the following winter Bahram returned from Hind with a numerous army and several elephants, and appeared before Ghaznin. Suri came out with 300 Ghuris and 1000 Ghuzz Turks, and endeavoured to reach Ghur, but the Ghuzz deserted to Bahram, and Suri was taken, paraded on a bullock through the city, and hung along with his Wazir. This occurred in 543 H. according to Fasih-i, but in 544 H. according to several other trustworthy authors. 'Ala-ud-Din, Husain, again marched to Ghaznin to avenge Suri, again took the city, plundered, and fired it, then abandoned it, and returned to Firuz-koh, destroying all the buildings raised by the Mahmudi family, on his way back. This is said to have taken place in 547 H., but such cannot have been the case; it must have been towards the end of 544 H., or early in 545 H., at the latest. Alfi says in 547 of the “Rihlat” \[death of Muhammad, not the Hijrah\], which would make it as late as 558 H. - [Previous: 148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.148) - [Next: 149.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.1.2) - [Up: 149.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.1.1) · Pramāṇa
