That part of the country was contiguous to the territories of the princes of Hind, and he wanted to define its limits. It was then the second year after the flight of our august lord Muhammad, the prophet of God, on whom and on whose descendants be the blessings of God. After the death of Kasrá son of Hurmuz, the king of Párs or Fárs (Persia), the management (of the) affairs of the kingdom had come into the hands of a woman. When Chach learnt of this state of things, he started with a large army for the territories of Kirmán. At an auspicious hour, discovered by the astrologers, he marched in the direction of Armanbel. That town was then in the hands of a Buddhist Samani descended from the Agents of Rái Sahiras, king of Hind, whom the Rai had elevated for their loyalty and devotion. In course of time, however, he had thrown off his yoke and had become his opponent. (This ruler) now came forth to receive Rái Chach. As his promises of fidelity and his cordial behaviour made a good impression on Chach’s mind, friendship and amity were firmly established between the two. Chach proceeded thence to the district of Makrán. Whosoever he encountered submitted to him. When he went beyond the steep declivity and the hills of Makran, he found himself in the division of Bakr. There was an ancient fort in that town, called Kaubar (or Kang or Kanarpur or Kinarpur). - [Previous: 14.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.14.6) - [Next: 15.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.15.2) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.15) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.15.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.15.1) · Pramāṇa
