³ I omit here the fantastic stories about the two Dābshilīms who figure in later Muslim chronicles in connection with Maḥmūd's arrangements for the government of Somnath. For these see *Elliot*, Vol. II, pp. 500-04; Vol. IV, pp. 183-86; *TF*, Briggs' Trans., Vol. I, pp. 76-80. All the earlier authorities are agreed that Maḥmūd after plundering Somnath beat a hasty retreat with his spoils. See also *BG*, Vol. I, Pt. I, p. 168.
