After the death of Sulim Shah, in the year 961, Sooliman threw off his allegiance from the throne of Dehly, without assuming the title of king. During his rule, he subdued the province of Orissa; and, notwithstanding he was virtually independent, he used frequently to send valuable presents to Akbur Padshah. Sooliman having reigned in Bengal for a period of twenty-five years, died in the year 981.
