The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 183: Kaksa is vanquished and comes to Muhammad Kasim.

183

Kaksa, son of Chandar, son of Silaij, was cousin of Dahir, son of Chach, and was present in the battle which Dahir fought; but having fled he had come to this fort in wretched plight, and had taken up his abode in it. When the Muhammadan army arrived, a contribution and hostages were sent, and the chiefs and nobles went forth and made submission. Muhammad Kasim showed them kindness, and granted them suitable rich khil'ats, and asked them whether Kaksa belonged to the family (al) of Alor, "for they are all wise, learned, trustworthy, and honest. They are famous for their integrity and honesty." He added, "Protection is given him, so that he may come with hearty confidence and hopes of future favour: for he shall be made counsellor in all affairs, and I will entrust him with the duties of the Wazarat." The minister Kaksa was a learned man and a philosopher of Hind. When he came to transact business, Muhammad Kasim used to make him sit before the throne and then consulted him, and Kaksa took precedence in the army before all the nobles and commanders. He collected the revenue of the country, and the treasure was placed under his seal. He assisted Muhammad Kasim in all his undertakings, and was called by the title of Mubarak Mushir, "prosperous counsellor."
