The King now dreaded lest his own sons might, in imitation of him, rebel also. He in consequence always viewed them with distrust and jealousy. This feeling was so apparent to his son Shahab-ood-Deen, the declared heir to the throne, that he always entered his father’s presence with apprehension; and the nobles, in the year 916, wearied and disgusted with the persecution and cruelty of Nasir-ood-Deen, persuaded his son to assume charge of the government at once. For this purpose he left Mando and collected a large force. Sooltan Nasir-ood-Deen, however, having opposed and defeated the Prince, the latter fled to Dehly, and, in spite of the remonstrances of his father, refused to come back. On the return of Sooltan Nasir-ood Deen towards Mando, he was seized with a fever, brought on by excess, at the town of Burtpoor; during which illness, although in the cold season, he bathed, and in a few days after died. He reigned eleven years and four months, having previously declared his third son, Mahmood, his successor. - [Previous: 227.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.227.4) - [Next: 228.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.228.1.1) - [Up: 227](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.227) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.227.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.227.5) · Pramāṇa
