The Riyazu-s-salatin (Abdus Salam) 54 - **Language:** English ### [54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.54) After this, Jalalu-d-din mounted the throne with full independence. He converted, contrary to his father, many infidels to the Moslem faith, and compelled the Hindus who had tasted of the gold-made figures of cows, to eat beef. And calling back the saint Shaikh Zahid from Sunargaon, he paid him every respect and honour, and rendering him services, was very often in attendance on him. He managed the affairs of Government in an efficient manner. In his reign, people passed their lives in ease and comfort. It is said that in his time the town of Panduah became so populous, that it cannot be described. At Gaur, he erected a mosque, a resevoir, the Jalali tank and a caravanserai. The city of Gaur commenced being re-populated in his time. He reigned for seventeen years. In the year 812 A.H. he removed the capital back again to Gaur. To this day, a large tower exists over his mausoleum at Panduah. The graves of his wife and his son lie by the sides of his mausoleum. - [Previous: 53.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.53.7) - [Next: 55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.55) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.54) · Pramāṇa
