Now the (charge of the) kingdom devolved upon Chandar, and his subjects were at ease owing to his conciliatory measures; and the business of the State was well-regulated. Chandar’s reign lasted for 7 years. In the eighth year he died. Dahar now sat on the throne of Alór and Duraj son of Chandar established himself at Brahmanábád. The reign of Duraj did not exceed one year. Then Daharsiah son of Chach put himself in possession of Brahmanábád. His sister Bai agreed to live with him, and be under his protection. Daharsiah married Agham’s daughter, and remained (at Brahmanábád) for 5 years. He sent letters to the governors of different divisions of the country, and received promises of allegiance from all. Then, Daharsiah came to Raor where Chach had laid the foundations of a fort, but had died before its completion. Daharsiah stayed there for some time and completed the construction of the fort. He collected the country people of the vicinity, and with a number of respectable and well-known persons settled them there. When the place was populated he gave it the name of Ráor. Then he returned to Brahmanábád, and the affairs of the country were thoroughly settled.
