The Sahnas seem originally to have occupied the tract lying between Bhukkur and Tutta, in Sind, and pretend to trace their pedigree from Jam Jumsheed, King of Persia. Being a warlike race; Jam Nunda used to boast he was also descended from Jumsheed, though he was at variance with the tribe of Sahna. A dissension arising among the Sahna tribe, Jam Nunda took advantage of it to instigate them against Jam Bayezeed and Jam Ibrahim, two brothers, who being eventually compelled to seek safety in flight, found protection in Mooltan. Hoossein Lunga afforded them an asylum, and conferred the district of Sheevur on Jam Bayezeed, and that of Oocha on Jam Ibrahim. Bheilole Lody of Dehly dying, and being succeeded by his son Sikundur, Hoossein Lunga deemed the opportunity favourable to gain the alliance of that court; and consequently deputed an ambassador with rich presents to Dehly, conveying letters of condolence and congratulation: the former, on account of the death of Bheilole, and the latter, on Sikundur Lody’s accession to the throne. On the arrival of the Mooltan ambassador, Sikundur Lody received the presents, and entered into a treaty of alliance, by which it was agreed that the respective armies of Mooltan and Dehly should keep within their present limits, but that, if required, they should assist each other in case of external invasion. - [Previous: 291.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.291.5) - [Next: 291.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.291.7) - [Up: 291](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.291) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.291.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.291.6) · Pramāṇa
