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) - [Previous: 46.27](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.27) - [Next: 46.29](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.29) - [Up: 46](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46) ## 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](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.46.28) · Pramāṇa
