"“Mahmud, after the capture of Thanesar, was desirous of proceeding to reduce Dehli; but his nobles told him that it would be impossible to keep possession of it, till he had rendered the Punjab a province of his own government, and had secured himself from all apprehension of Anandapal (Raja of Lahore). The king resolved, therefore, for the present, to proceed no further, till he had accomplished these objects. Anandapal, however, conducted himself with so much policy and hospitabity towards Mahmud that the Sultan returned peaceably to Ghaznin. On this occasion, the [p. 32] Muhammadan army brought to Ghaznin 200,000 captives, so that the capital appeared like an Indian city, for every soldier of the army had several slaves and slaves girls.” -Firishta."
