### [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.

> 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)
