∗ Ali Hazin says that some of the Indian nobles who had begged from Nadir Qizilbash guards for their mansions gave them up to the mob to be slain and even killed them with their own hands. But Abdul Karim tells the more probable tale that these guards were preserved and their presence saved those houses from the vengeance of Nadir’s soldiery in the next day’s massacre and even the poor householders in their neighbourhood escaped sack by appealing to them.
