"In the same way, he demolished the building at Metna (?)1 spring. It was converted into a mosque. The site was developed. Not a trace of the demolished temple was left behind. A mosque built close to the spring still exists. Kharboshtaz (?) Temple He also demolished the temple of Kharboshtaz (?). This one was more popular than many other idol temples of Kashmir. Ten temples demolished There existed ten temples in a certain village. They were given different names, such as Jwalamukhi, Khodrenu, Lankeh Renu, Bakhi Renu, Luti Renu, Soneh Renu, Parzdan, Tsarenmal, Kupwur and Zachaldor. 1 Shamsuíd-Din demolished these temples and built mosques at their site. A few kharwars of land was endowed to these mosques for the maintenance of the Imam and the muíezzin so that they were able to discharge their religious duties without distraction. Apart from the call for the prayer, five-time prayers, Friday congregational prayers were also offered here. The Imam used to deliver sermons to the villagers on religious (Islamic) duties and obligations. They would acquaint them with the tenets of Islam and Islamic faith and exhort them to be Musalmans. Sonwar 2 temple A temple stood in the village called Sonwar. On the ruins of the (demolished) temple, a mosque was raised so that five- time a-day namaz (prayer) could be offered. Advin 1 Pargana(?) temple A temple stood in Advan pargana. It was demolished and a mosque was built at the site. Mullas were appointed to bring Islam to the place. They were taught the obligations of faith and Islam, namaz and ablution, etc. Kalehbod temple In the locality known Kalehbod2, there existed a big temple, which was demolished and on its ruins a Jamiía mosque was built. Around it stood a willow plantation. The trees, thick and tall, were felled and timber was brought to the city. Logs obtained from this timber were used as cross bars for the roof in the compound of Nurbakhshiyeh hospice. These long and big logs were used from inside the hospice stretching from one wall to another that stood outside in order that these could bear load. Since Shamsuíd-Din Araki had left the hospice without a pillar, it was felt necessary that strong logs of good length were used so that it bore the weight of the roof. Despite the heavy load that these logs bore, they did not show any sign of damage. Narvora temple A temple stood close to the spring in the village of Narvor Narwol (sic).3 Shamsuíd-Din Araki demolished it and built a mosque on its ruins. A mulla was appointed to take care of it and arrangement for calling for the prayer and offering five- times-a-day prayers was also made. Three to four kharwar land was given to the mosque by way of endowment. The land has been in the possession of the descendants of the mulla till this day."
