"The lands of this region were purified once for all from the traces of the polytheists and the infidels and their corrupt and debased customs. God Almighty be the witness. God blessed that venerable person (Shamsuíd-Din Araki) with strength and divine approval. That is why he succeeded in breaking the idols of the polytheists of this land and the prayer houses of the infidels. No Sultan, monarch or ruler in the world ever had such great success to his credit. This special felicity and bliss were not to be theirs. After a long time, of epochs and century, an outstanding personality appears to devote himself to the laws of the Prophet. Hazrat Amir Shamsuíd-Din took great pains in breaking idols and smashing statues. He succeeded in his mission. Islamic faith and the laws of religion were strengthened (in Kashmir). The number of idol houses (temples) of the infidels in this land was so large that one could not give a full account of them. My pen is helpless in counting each of these. I, therefore, pull up the reins of my pen at this point and leave the count and account of the demolition of temples by Araki at this point although one is unable to make the count. We now turn to the munificence and large- heartedness of Araki."
