12.13.6
I also saw Shihāb al-Dīn, when everything he had was gone, at Shīrāz begging from its sultan Abū Isḥāq. Such is the wealth of these lands of Hind! Rarely does anyone leave them with it, save the odd one, and if he does leave with it and reaches some other country, God sends upon him a calamity that destroys what he holds, as happened to this Shihāb al-Dīn: in the strife between the king of Hurmuz and his two nephews everything he had was taken from him, and he came out stripped of his wealth!
