244.8.7

Under the auspices of the good fortune of the Sultan of Sultans, Nasir-ud-Din, Mahmud Shah, the Most High God facilitated the delivery into the hands of Ulugh Khan-i-A'zam that obdurate Hindu, who had carried off those camels and camel men, together with his sons and family, all of whom were taken, and the decree of fate brought them into the bondage and captivity of Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam’s followers, and the whole of the heads and chiefs of the rebels, to the number of about 250 persons, among the chief men of that people, fell into the chains of bondage. One hundred and forty-two horses reached the Sultan’s stables, and sixty badrahs of tangahs, the amount of [each of?] which was 35,000 tangahs, he [Ulugh Khan] extorted from the Ranahs and Raes of that mountain tract, and they were conveyed to the royal treasury; and, in the space of twenty days, such were the important feats effected through the vigorous and energetic command of Ulugh Khan-i-A'zam — May his glory ever continue ! On the 24th of the month Rabi'-ul-Awwal, 658 H., Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam returned to the capital. The august canopy of sovereignty, and the king of the world like an imperial sun under the shadow thereof — God perpetuate his sovereignty !
