Badshah of the Mulahidah, from his throne arose. And, in front of the throne of Hulaku \[Khan\], stood up.” When Khur Shah presented himself, Hulaku beheld a mere youth of inexperience and indiscretion, and, therefore, according to the pro-Mughal accounts, he treated him kindly, and gave him hopes of the Ka’an’s favour. Khur Shah, at Hulaku’s request, despatched one of his chief men, entitled Sadr-ud-Din, in order that all the fortresses which his father and forefathers had obtained possession of, in the Kuhistan, the Rud-barat, and Kumis— a district, or rather province, between Khurasan and ’Irak-i-’Ajam— full of military stores, magazines of provisions, and other valuable property, might be delivered up to the Mughal officials ; and, by Hulaku’s command, they are said to have been levelled with the ground— subsequently perhaps, as this would be a work of time only : Hafiz Abru says they amounted to some three hundred ; all but Lambah-Sar and Gird-Koh— but the number was only a little over a hundred— which the governors refused to give up, and which held out, particularly the latter, for twenty years after, as already mentioned. Pestilence at last broke out in Lambah-Sar, and most of its people perished. The rest abandoned it, and the Mughals destroyed it. - [Previous: 287.5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.5.6) - [Next: 287.5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.5.8) - [Up: 287.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.287.5.7) · Pramāṇa
