Storia do Mogor 39.3.1

39.3.1

The king ordered the soldiers of his guard to go and claim the soldier who had committed the murder, bring him out from wherever he was hiding, and cut him to pieces. They told the king that the place was a sanctuary, a place of safety that the king had granted to misdoers. The king answered: 'He who granted the sanctuary can withdraw it.' Thus in this king's time there is no longer any place of refuge. The soldier was quartered and the pieces dragged through the city of Isfahan, and Mīrza Kuchak quitted Persia. Subsequently I encountered him in the empire of the Great Mogul, in the city of Laor (Lahor), and in the proper place (Part II., 198) I will recount what happened to him [30].
