Gheias-ood-Deen having appointed his son, Kurra Khan, King of Bengal, bestowed on him the ensigns of royalty, and the spoils of Toghrul Khan, except the elephants and treasure, with which he himself returned to Dehly. The King was absent on this expedition altogether three years. After his return, he conferred dignities upon Fukhr-ood-Deen Kotwal, who had ruled Dehly with great wisdom during his absence. He then visited the learned men at their own houses, made them rich presents, and, at their instigation, published an act of grace to all insolvent public debtors who were in confinement, striking off, at the same time, all old balances of revenues due to the crown. Notwithstanding this appearance of humanity, either the policy or natural cruelty of his disposition rendered him unmerciful to all rebels. He ordered posts to be erected in the market-place for the execution of the prisoners taken in the late expedition; and it was with the utmost difficulty that the kazies, mufties, and learned men, proceeding in a body to petition, obtained their pardon. The Prince Mahomed, having heard of his father's arrival, came from Mooltan to Dehly to visit him, and was received with the greatest affection. - [Previous: 33.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.33.3.8) - [Next: 33.3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.33.3.10) - [Up: 33.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.33.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.33.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.33.3.9) · Pramāṇa
