Upon which, Eesa Khan, the nephew of Bheilole, tauntingly observed, "What business have goldsmiths' sons with the reins of government, since it is proverbial that 'monkeys make but bad carpenters.'" Khan Khanan Lohany, one of the officers present, took him up sharply, saying, "The King is yet scarcely cold in his grave, and it ill becomes us at such a time to cast reflections on any of his progeny." Eesa Khan desired him to hold his tongue; observing, he was nothing but a servant, and had no right to interfere in family affairs. Khan Khanan now rising, instantly declared himself a servant of Sikundur Lody, and said that he would maintain his right against all who durst oppose it; when, having left the council, and being followed by all his party, he carried the body of the deceased King to the town of Jellaly, where, being met by Sikundur, the latter ascended his father's throne at that place. Sikundur now sent the corpse of his father to Dehly, and instantly marched against Eesa Khan. Having defeated this chief, he afterwards forgave him, and, returning to the capital, followed the example of his father, by conferring favours on all his kindred. At the time of his accession, Sikundur Lody had six sons; viz. Ibrahim, Julal, Ismael, Hoosein, Mahmood, and Azim Hoomayoon, besides whom were 14 officers of distinction; such as Khan Jehan Lody, Ahmud Khan, grandson of Khan Khanan Firmully, Sheikzada Firmully, Khan Khanan Lohany. Azim Hoomayoon Sheerwany. Duria Khan Lody.
