¹⁵⁷ Rizqulla Mushtaqī and Ahmad Yādgar give two anecdotes in this connection. Ahmad Yādgar, however, concludes with an unusually bold remark. Comparing Sikandar Lodī's times with his own he says: "God be praised, for endowing the Sultan (Sikandar) with such a generous spirit. In these days (i.e. Mughal Emperor Jahāngīr's) if any one were to find even a few copper *tankās*, our rulers would immediately pull down his house to examine every nook and corner for more." W.M., 21 (a) T.S.A., 36.
