In the year 433, he marched from Ghizny; while Mahomed the Blind appointing his younger son, the Prince Namy, governor of Pishawur and Moultan, marched in person to the banks of the Indus to oppose Modood. The two armies met at Duntoor; an action ensued between the uncle and nephew: victory declared in favour of Modood, while Mahomed with his sons, and the son of Ameer Ally Cheshawundy, Noshtugeen Bulkhy, and Sooliman, the son of Ameer Yoosoof, were taken prisoners. They were all put to death, except the Prince Abdool Ruheem, the son of the late King Mahomed. Modood pardoned him, because on one occasion, during the time his father Musaood was prisoner, when Abdool Ruheem went with his brother Abdool Ruhman to visit him, the latter insultingly threw off Musaood's royal cap: Ruheem instantly took it up, and replaced it on the King's head with much respect, reproving his brother for his ungenerous conduct.
