The Nāṣirī Generations 183.2.3

183.2.3

It is truly amusing to compare Firishtah's account of this affair with the versions of his translators. He, quoting the Taj-ul-Ma'asir, says—I give his own words—“At last Jai Chand, in person, appeared in the field against Kutb-ud-Din, and, during the very heat of the fight, a life-taking arrow entered the pupil of the Rajah's eye, and he fell from his elephant into the dust of contempt.” Dow renders this: "But Cuttub, who excelled in archery, sunk an arrow in the ball of his eye," and Briggs has: "Kootb ood Deen, who excelled in archery, came in contact with Raja Jye Chund, and with his own hand shot the arrow which, piercing his eye, cost the Rajah his life" !!!
