The leading men, however, having formed a kind of administration, divided the territory into three principalities or districts; that of Dewsur fell to the lot of Dowlut Chuk, that of Dhunuj to Ghazy Khan Chuk, and Gujraj to Yoosoof Chuk and Beiram Chuk, while Abdy Zeina remained at the capital, and was virtually ruler of the whole; though, for form’s sake, Nazook, the son of Ibrahim, and grandson of the late Mahomed, was seated on the throne of Kashmeer. In the beginning of the year 959 the Kashmeer officers, after having each secured a portion of the kingdom, became discontented at the inequality of their shares, and in consequence a civil war arose, in which four parties at first opposed each other, under separate leaders; viz. 1. Abdy Zeina, with the Zeina tribe. 2. Hussun, the son of Abdal, with the Makry tribe. 3. The Kapoories, under Beiram and Yoosoof Chuk, with their tribes. 4. The Rainies, under Ghazy Khan, Athy, and Dowlut Chuk, with their tribes. These dissensions continued for some time, till at the end of two months after the accession of Nazook he was deposed a second time, and his brother Ibrahim was raised to the throne in his stead. - [Previous: 339.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.339.7) - [Next: 340](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.340) - [Up: 339](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.339) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.339.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.339.8) · Pramāṇa
