And in the year 739 A.H. (1338 A.D.) Bahram Khan Governor of Sunargaon died, and Malik Fakhru-d-Din Silahdar became rebellious and assumed the title of Sultan, and having fought with Qadr Khan the ruler of Lakhnauti in conjunction with Malik Husamu-d-Din Aburija the Mustaufi, and ‘Izzu-d-Din Yahya A‘zamu-l-Mulk, was defeated, and all his sources of grandeur, his treasure and his retainers fell into the hands of Qadr Khan; and when the rainy season had arrived the horses belonging to Qadr Khan died, and he had collected much money and had stored it up in heaps in his own house with the object of presenting it to the Sultan. In spite of all that Husamu-d-Din Aburija could do to dissuade him from amassing wealth and inducing men to covet it and thus leading to disorder, Qadr Khan would not listen, till eventually the very result predicted by Husamu-d-Din ensued; Malik Fakhru-d-Din returned, and the soldiery of Husamu-d-Din joined him and killed their own master, and all the money fell to the lot of Fakhru-d-Din. The absolute control of Sunargaon was given him; he appointed one Mukhlis a servant of his, to Lakhnauti, and ‘Ali Mubarak Inspector of Troops; Qadr Khan put Mukhlis to death and aspired at independence, writing diplomatic letters to the court of the Sultan. The Sultan appointed Malik Yusuf, but he died by the way, and the Sultan, having other affairs to attend to, omitted to send any one else to that district.
