During the night, the accursed Mangal Diw evacuated the fort and fled; and about seven hundred Gabrs were directed to be brought to public execution before the entrance of the sublime pavilion. After that, Amirs and eminent men were appointed \[to different offices\]. To the Majd-ul-Umra, Ziya-ud-Din, Junaidi, the Sultan gave the office of Amir-i-Dad, the Sipah-Salar \[Commander of Troops\], Rashid-ud-Din, ’Ali, was directed to assume the office of Seneschal, and the Maulana, the writer of this book, Minhaj-i-Saraj, was nominated to the offices of Kazi, Khatib, and Imam, and appointed to preside over all matters of the law, and a rich dress of honour, and an ample present, were conferred upon him. May the Most High God become the sustainer of the purified soul and fragrant body of that victorious, beneficent, and just sovereign, and patron of the enlightened! On the 2nd of the month, Rabi’-ul-Akhir, of this same year, the Sultan withdrew from before the fortress of Gwaliyur, and placed the camp at about the distance of a league from the foot of the walls in the direction of Dihli, the capital; and, at that halting ground, the imperial naubat five times daily was assumed. - [Previous: 192.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.192.3.3) - [Next: 192.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.192.3.5) - [Up: 192.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.192.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.192.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.192.3.4) · Pramāṇa
