Trustworthy persons have related after this manner, that the fame of the intrepidity, gallantry, and victories of Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar had \[also\] reached Rae Lakhmaniah whose seat of government was the city of Nudiah, and who was a very great Rae, and had been on the throne for a period of eighty years. At this place, an Anecdote respecting the circumstances of that Rae, which had been heard \[by the writer\], is here recorded; and it is this, that, when his father was removed from this world, Rae Lakhmaniah was in his mother’s womb. The crown was placed on the belly of his mother, and all girded up their loins in her service. The Raes of Hind used to hold their family in great importance, and were wont to consider them in the position of Khalifah by descent. When the birth of Lakhmaniah drew near, and the signs of giving birth became manifest to his mother, she assembled the astrologers together and they made observation whether the horoscope was auspicious. With one accord they represented : “ If this child should be born at this hour, it will be unfortunate exceedingly, and will never attain unto sovereignty ; but, if it should be born two hours subsequent to this time, it will reign for eighty years.” - [Previous: 187.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1.5) - [Next: 187.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1.7) - [Up: 187.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1.6) · Pramāṇa
