The whole of the Amirs and warriors, and distinguished men of the Ghurian army, got entangled in that swampy ground and morass. Some of them obtained martyrdom, and some were made captive, and Sultan ’Ala-ud-Din himself was taken prisoner. Sultan Sanjar commanded that he should be put in confinement, and they brought gyves of iron to place on his legs. He urged that it was requisite they should make a representation \[from him\] to the Sultan, saying: — “Do unto me as I intended to have done unto thee, for I obtained gyves of gold, in order that, thereby, reverence for thy sovereignty might be so much the more preserved.” When this request was made known, those identical gyves were called for, and, when they were obtained, those very same gyves were placed upon ’Ala-ud-Din’s legs, and they mounted him upon a camel, and Sultan Sanjar returned \[to his own territory\]. - [Previous: 149.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.2.6) - [Next: 149.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.2.8) - [Up: 149.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.149.2.7) · Pramāṇa
