Daud protested that he would never take any course hostile to the Imperial throne, and he confirmed his promise by the most stringent oaths. The treaty of peace was drawn up, and then Khan-khanan brought a sword with a jewelled belt of great value out of his stores, and presenting it to Daud, he said, "You have now become a subject of the Imperial throne, and have promised to give it your support. I have therefore requested that the country of Orissa may be settled upon you for your support, and I feel assured that His Majesty will confirm my proposition — granting this to you as my tankhwah has been granted to me. I now gird you afresh with this warlike sword." Then he bound on the sword with his own hands; and showing him every courtesy, and making him a great variety of gifts, he dismissed him. The Court then broke up, and Khan-khanan started on his return. On the 10th Safar, 983, he reached Tanda the capital, and sent a report of his arrangements to the Emperor, who was greatly delighted and satisfied with the conquest of Bengal. Splendid robes and jewelled swords, and a horse with a golden saddle, were sent to Khan-khanan, and all the arrangements he had made were confirmed. - [Previous: 56.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.56.3) - [Next: 56.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.56.5) - [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.56.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.56.4) · Pramāṇa
