Death stared him in the face; so, in his despair and misery, he sent a messenger to Khan-khanan with a message to this effect: "The striving to crush a party of Musulmans is no noble work. I am ready to submit and become a subject; but I beg that a corner of this wide country of Bengal sufficient for my support may be assigned to me. If this is granted, I will rest content, and never after rebel." The amirs communicated this to Khan-khanan, and after considerable discussion, it was determined to accept the proposal, upon the condition that Daud himself should come out to meet Khan-khanan, and confirm the agreement by solemn binding oaths. - [Previous: 56.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.56.1) - [Next: 56.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.56.3) - [Up: 56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.56) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.56.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.56.2) · Pramāṇa
