The Hindus turned their tails towards their heads like frightened dogs, and the Rája was contented to offer the best things in his most distant provinces to the conqueror, on condition that the hair on the crowns of their heads should not be shaven off. So the country in that neighbourhood was clear and open before Amir Subuktigin, and he seized all the wealth which was found in it. He levied tribute and obtained immense booty, besides two hundred elephants of war. He increased his army, and the Afghans and Khiljis having submitted to him, he admitted thousands of them whenever he wished into the ranks of his army, and thereafter expended their lives in his service.
