The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 44.2.1

44.2.1

The writers of history, in giving an account of Déhar’s death and Muhammad Kásim’s victory, have stated, on the authority of some old Bráhmans, that when Rái Déhar departed to Hell, Jaisiah threw himself within the walls of the fort of Bráhmanábád to defend himself. When Ráor was completely lost, Jaisiah began to prepare for war again by collecting men and materials. He sent letters in different directions. First he wrote to his own brother Fófi son of Déhar who was in the fort of the capital city of Arór, then to his nephew Chach son of Daharsiah at Bátiah, then to his cousin Dhal son of Chandar in the country of Budhia and Kíkáván. He informed all of them that Déhar had been killed, and he invited them to join him and fight against their common enemy. Meanwhile he made the necessary preparations for war, and with some brave men made a stand against the enemy at Bráhmanábád.
