تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 10.3.1

10.3.1

In this city lived the amīr Wunār the Sāmirī, already mentioned, and the amīr Qayṣar al-Rūmī, both in the Sultan's service, and with them about one thousand eight hundred horsemen. There also lived there an infidel of the Hindus named Ratan — with a on the r, a on the dotted t, and n — who was skilled in accounting and writing. He came to the King of Hind with one of the amīrs, and the Sultan approved of him, named him ʿAẓīm al-Sind, appointed him governor of that country, granted him Sīwasitān and its districts as a fief, and gave him the marks of rank, namely drums and standards, as he gives to the great amīrs.
