¹ This idol is apparently referred to as “the *budd* of al-Multan by Balādhurī in connection with the conquest of that city by Muḥammad ibn Qāsim. According to al-Bīrūnī Muḥammad ibn Qāsim spared the idol but hung a piece of cow’s flesh on its neck by way of mockery. See *Kitāb ul-Hind* Trans. by Sachau, Vol. I, p. 116.
