"Araki was brought under security to the house of Abdal Magray.1 He remained unscathed in that fighting. At that time, Abdal Magray was not at his residence. His wife was the daughter of Malik Musa Raina. Another house stood in close proximity to the house of Abdal Magray. From the windows, doors and ventilators, womenfolk and servants hurled garbage at the sufis because they had demolished their temples and broken the idols."
