There can be no doubt that this Da,ud Khan is valiant and bold, but sometimes cruel, as I know from experience. His legitimate wife having at two different times brought forth daughters, when report of their birth was made to him he entered his seraglio, or mahal, took the infants and tyrannically cut them into pieces. He said that those men should not be praised who were proud of having offspring. However, the wife, cast down at finding herself in the hands of such a tyrant, left him and went to live with her parents.
