Dahar then called Chach son of Daharsiah, and made an alliance with him, and acknowledged him as his father’s successor. He then went to the fortified town of Siwistán, and thence to that of Ráor. The foundation of the fort at this place had been laid by his father Chach who had died before it could be finished. Dahar stayed there long enough to see the building completed. He spent in it the four months of summer, as it was a very pleasant city with a salubrious climate and with sweet water. He fixed his winter quarters at Brahmanábád, where he spent the four months of winter. The remaining four months of spring he used to spend at Alór. In this manner, 8 years passed away, during which time his kingdom was perfectly established, the fame of his sovereignty spread throughout the length and breadth of the world, and his rule was firmly fixed in the country of Hind and Sind. (Seeing Dahir's rise) the king of Ramal, one of the neighbouring princes, became jealous of his power. - [Previous: 16.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.16.2.9) - [Next: 17.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.17.2) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.17.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.17.1) · Pramāṇa
