He sent his son to him on the understanding that the marriage contract would be concluded, with the condition of intertwining in kinship and sharing in house and fortune. But when the son-in-law came into his hands, he put him under thong and fetter and demanded of him compensation for what he had lost at his father's hands. Barūjībāl was unable to attack his fortress, break open his stronghold and rescue his son from the bondage of his ordeal. Yet the contention between them never ceased until the Sultan's banners appeared over those frontiers, and God's favour to him was revealed in one aim \[after another\]. As for Barūjībāl, he joined Bhūjadīw—one of those who took pride in the strength of their fortresses, the ruggedness of their approaches and the roughness of their heights—to save his life and, as he claimed, to make himself hard to reach for whoever might intend to follow his tracks. As for Chand Rāy, he prepared to resist and gathered his forces to hold out, proud of the solidity of his fortress—though had he stood firm, he would have uprooted it—and presuming on his impregnability—though had he stayed, he would have wrenched him away. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) > The Sultan, when he heard of the flight of Chandal, was sorely afflicted, and turned his horse's head towards Chand Rai, one of the greatest men in Hind, who resided in the fort of Sharwa, and in his pride and self-sufficiency thought the following verse applicable to himself: "I sneeze with expanded nostrils, and hold the Pleiades in my hand even while sitting." Between him and Puru Jaipal, there had been constant fights, in which many men and warriors had fallen in the field, and at last they consented to peace, in order to save further bloodshed and invasion of their respective borders. Puru Jaipal sought his old enemy's daughter, that he might give her in marriage to his son, Bhimpal, thus cementing the peace between them for ever, and preserving their swords within their sheaths. He sent his son to obtain the bride from Chand Rai, who imprisoned the son and demanded retribution for the losses which had been inflicted by the father. Jaipal was thus compelled to refrain from proceeding against Chand Rai's fort and country, being unable to release his son; but constant skirmishes occurred between them, until the arrival of Sultan Mahmud in those parts, who, through the kindness of God, had wish after wish gratified in a succession of conquests. > — Henry Miers Elliot & John Dowson 1869, Tárikh Yamíní (extracts) > Puru Jaipal in order to save his life, entered into a friendly engagement with Bhoj Chand, who was proud in the strength of his forts and their difficulty of access, and there he considered himself secure against pursuit in his inaccessible retreat. But Chand Rai, on the contrary, took up arms, trusting in the strength of his fort; but had he remained in it he would infallibly have had it destroyed, and had he trusted to his army, it would have been of no avail. Under these circumstances, Bhimpal wrote him a letter to this effect: — "Sultan Mahmud is not like the rulers of Hind, and is not the leader of black men. It is obviously advisable to seek safety from such a person, for armies flee away before the very name of him and his father. I regard his bridle as much stronger than yours, for he never contents himself with one blow of the sword, nor does his army content itself with one hill out of a whole range. If therefore you design to contend with him, you will suffer, but do as you like — you know best. If you wish for your own safety, you will remain in concealment." > — Henry Miers Elliot & John Dowson 1869, Tárikh Yamíní (extracts) ### [46.29](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.29) فراسله بهيمال بأن محمودا ليس من جنس أكابر الهنود ، وأمراء رجالهم السود. إن السلامة من مثله تغتنم، والجيش باسم أبيه يستهزم . وقد رأينا من كان أقوى منك حكمة، \[225 ب\] وأعلى أكمة، لم يقم لضربة من ضربات حدوده، ولم يف بهضبة من هضبات جنوده. فإن أردت الافتضاح فشأنك، أو الخلاص فغمض ما استطعت مكانك. > Bhīmpāl sent him word: "Maḥmūd is not of the kind of the great men of the Hindus and the commanders of their black men. Safety from one like him is to be seized as a prize, and armies are put to flight by his father's name alone. We have seen those stronger than you in authority and higher in hill unable to withstand a single stroke of his blades, or match a single mountain of his troops. If you want disgrace, then go ahead; or if you want deliverance, then conceal your whereabouts as best you can." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (2) - [Tárikh Yamíní (extracts)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini~en-elliot.24.1) — Henry Miers Elliot & John Dowson 1869, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini~en-mt.46.28) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.28-29](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.28-29) · Pramāṇa
