Promotion of Learning in India during Muhammadan Rule (by Muhammadans) c12.s8.3

c12.s8.3

It is stated in Ḥadīqatul-Aqālīm (MS. in ASB, leaf 69) that the Sulṭān once sent a man to Gujrāt to inspect its splendid buildings. When the person reported that with all his wealth, the Sulṭān could not erect similar buildings in Multān, he was much disappointed. But the Wazīr to console him said that though Gujrāt was noted for its buildings, Multān was superior to it in learning.
