History of the Qaraunah Turks in India c10.197

c10.197

‘On the very date on which one month was in excess of the year 700 from this journey, in the month of Muharram, before Sha‘ban arrived.’ This is not a correct translation. Elliot adds 8 in the second line to 50 which is not what the poet intends. The poet’s words 745 and not 746 as Elliot says.
