Then we travelled from it to the town of Hānsī — its name is spelt with a after unpointed ḥ, then alif, n without vowel, unpointed s with i, and y. It is one of the finest, best built and most populous of towns, and it has a mighty wall whose builder, they say, was one of the great infidel sultans called Tūra — with u after the dotted t and a after the r — about whom they have stories and tales. From this town come Kamāl al-Dīn Ṣadr al-Jahān, chief qāḍī of Hind, and his brother Quṭlū Khān, the Sultan's tutor, and their two brothers Niẓām al-Dīn and Shams al-Dīn, who devoted himself to God and lived near the sanctuary at Mecca until he died.
