Riyaz al-salatin 57: REIGN OF NASIR SHAH.

57

When Nasir Khan the slave in retribution for his misdeeds was killed, the nobles and the generals leaguing together, raised to the throne one of the grand-sons of Sultan Shamsu-d-din Bhangra who had capacity for this onerous charge, styling him Nasir Shah. Nasir Shah conducted himself with justice and liberality, so that the people, both young and old, were contented, and the wounds of oppression inflicted by Ahmad Shah were healed. The buildings of Gaur and the Fort there, were erected by this high-ranked king. Reigning thirty-two years over Bengal, he passed away like others before him from the world, and according to another account, his reign did not exceed twenty-seven years.
