Twilight of the Sultanate c14.s7.23

c14.s7.23

(W.M., 40 (a) ). “What an age of wonder: there is merriment and festivity in every house, Gone are the highwaymen and the twisters of noose round the neck, None can think of rebellion even in dream, The Muslims are domineering and the Hindus subordinate, Forgotten is the dread of Mughal inroad. Divine is the Sultan’s omniscience, Grandeur of a mountain, yielding pearl and ruby.” Also cf. the epithets in the bilingual inscription (Sanskrit and Persian) which is said to have been discovered at the village of Mubārakpur Kotla in Delhi and is dated 14 March, 1517 (20 Safar, 923 H).
