द्वितीय राजतरङ्गिणी (जोनराज - कल्हणोत्तर मध्यकालीन कश्मीर का प्रामाणिक इतिहास)

KINGS OF KASHMÍRA. 321
Kashmīra, such as the people of this country had
inflicted on other countries, when they had made
foreign conquests. Kashmīrian invaders in foreign
lands had seen the poor and the naked, as well as
helpless new born babes, but had not supplied them
with clothes. And when the poor of those lands saw
their silver and baser metals, their kine and beasts
taken away by the Kashmīrians, they filled all sides
with sighs and lamentations and exclaimed that as the
Kashmīrians had robbed them of every thing without
any provocation, so they too would, in their turn, be
similarly, robbed by their enemies. When Phatā-
hashāha obtained the kingdom, the great sin bore
fruit in the sufferings of three persons at the time of
their death.
As commotions rose in the country the Mārgesha
returned to his place, listening, as he passed, to these
and other animadversions. It was owing to the sins
of the people that he refused to conclude a peace.
He reached the city, accompanied by the king, and
began to celebrate a festival on account of his victory;
and he punished the partisans of the Khāna, both high
and low. But he did not oppress the relations of those
who had gone over to the side of the Khāna, as a disease
oppresses the body. Auspicious Fate sometimes bes-
tows happiness which is enjoyed by all, and sometimes,
in its displeasure, it afflicts people with the six calamities.*
