    Who among the following rulers built a university at Ghazni?
    Solutions

    Mahmud enhanced the image of Ghazni as a center of civilization that rose from the shackles of lawlessness into a cultured city. He is also credited with building a university at Ghazni and equipping it with a library, museum, and salaried teachers. Mahmud patronized the notable poet Ferdowsi, who after laboring 27 years, went to Ghazni and presented the Shahnameh to him. There are various stories in medieval texts describing the lack of interest shown by Mahmud to Ferdowsi and his life's work. According to historians, Mahmud had promised Ferdowsi a dinar for every distich written in the Shahnameh (which would have been 60,000 dinars), but later retracted his promise and presented him with dirhams (20,000 dirhams), at that time the equivalent of only 200 dinars. His expedition across the Gangetic plains in 1017 inspired Al-Biruni to compose his Tarikh Al-Hind in order to understand the Indians and their beliefs.
