One day while Sooltan Ghyasood Deen was amusing himself in the practice of archery, one of his arrows by chance wounded a boy, the son of a widow. The woman immediately repaired to the tribunal of the Cazy, Surajood Deen, and demanded justice. The judge was confounded and said to himself, “If I summon the king to my Court I shall run the risk of being disobeyed, and if I pass over his transgressions, I shall be one day summoned before the Court of God, to answer for my neglect of duty." After much reflection he ordered one of the officers to go and summon the king to answer the complaint of the woman. The officer, dreading to enter abruptly the palace with such an order, considered on some means to get introduced into the presence of the king. At length he ascended the minaret of the Mosque, adjoining the palace, and at an improper hour called the people to prayers. The king hearing his voice, ordered some of his guards to bring before him the man who thus made a mockery of religion. When the officer was introduced into the royal presence, he briefly related the circumstance, and concluded by summoning His Majesty to the Cazy's tribunal.
