187.2.2
At this time Rae Lakhmaniah was seated at the head of his table, and dishes of gold and silver, full of victuals, were placed according to his accustomed routine, when a cry arose from the gateway of the Rae’s palace and the interior of the city. By the time he became certain what was the state of affairs, Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar had dashed forwards through the gateway into the palace, and had put several persons to the sword. The Rae fled bare-footed by the back part of his palace; and the whole of his treasures, his wives, and [other] females, his domestics and servants, his particular attendants, were taken, and the Musalmans captured a number of elephants, and such a vast amount of booty fell to their lot, as cannot be recorded. When the whole of Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar’s army arrived, and the city and round about had been taken possession of, he there took up his quarters; and Rae Lakhmaniah got away towards Sankanat and Bang, and there the period of his reign shortly afterwards came to a termination. His descendants, up to this time, are rulers in the country of Bang.
