It behoveth \[the Sultan\] not to let the opportunity slip through his hands, and he should repair to Ghaznin with all possible haste.” In accordance with those letters and solicitations, Bahram Shah, from the side of Hindustan, advanced unexpectedly and reached Ghaznin, and made a night attack upon Sultan Suri. He came out of Ghaznin with his own particular followers who were from Ghur, and along with his Wazir, Sayyid Majd-ud-Din, Musawi, took the road to Ghur. - [Previous: 169.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.2) - [Next: 169.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.4) - [Up: 169](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.169.3) · Pramāṇa
