10

In the year 405 H. Sultán Mahmúd, again thirsting for a war with the infidels, turned his attention towards the extreme part of Hindústán, and fought a battle with one of the greatest princes of that country. He sent many of the heretics to hell, subdued the city of Nárdín, and then returned to Ghaznín. In the same year, he led an army to the territories of Thánesar, the ruler of which was a certain infidel well known, and possessed of elephants which they call the Ceylonese. According to his usual custom, he fought with and plundered the inhabitants, and then returned to Ghaznín.
