Among them Mubariz Khan, the son of Nizam Khan Sur, who was the cousin and wife’s brother of Islam Shah, and eventually received the title of Muhammad ‘Adili, was appointed as a commander of twenty thousand to the vicinity of Ajawan in the Sarkar of Sambal, in order that Khawass Khan and the other Amirs might not be able to raise disturbances in that province, and he appointed as his deputy Pabandh Kharak. He had also given orders at the beginning of his reign that between every two rest-houses built by Sher Shah which were at intervals of one kroh, another rest-house of the same pattern should be built, with a temple, and a dwelling-place, and a pot of drinking water, and that a buttery and kitchen containing food both cooked and uncooked, for the use of travellers, both Hindu and Musalman, should be always open. Among other commands of his was this, that the madad-i-ma'ash and aimah grants of the whole of the protected provinces of Hindustan which Shir Shah had given, and the rest-houses which he had furnished, and the pleasure-gardens he had laid out, should remain just as they were, and should not be altered in the slightest degree. Another order was, that all the Patars should be taken by force from those Amirs who kept Akharas (these are well known in Hindustan). - [Previous: 61.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.61.4.3) - [Next: 61.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.61.4.5) - [Up: 61.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.61.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.61.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.61.4.4) · Pramāṇa
