The Raja of Assam not being able to oppose him, relinquishing his country, fled to the mountains. The king, leaving his son with a large army to complete the settlement of the conquered country, returned triumphant and victorious to Bengal. After the withdrawal of the king, his son devoted himself to the pacification and defences of the conquered country. But when the rainy season set in, owing to floods, the roads and tracks became closed ; and the Rajah with his adherents issued from the hills, surrounded the Royal army, engaged in warfare, cut off supplies of provisions, and in a short time put all to the sword. And the king, erecting a fort on the bank of the river Bhatah, bestowed great efforts on the improvement and advancement of the Kingdom of Bengal. And erecting and establishing Mosques and Rest-houses at different places in every district, he conferred numerous gifts on saints and recluses. - [Previous: 65.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.65.6) - [Next: 65.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.65.8) - [Up: 65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.65) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.65.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.65.7) · Pramāṇa
