But he died. After this event the eldest son of the noble Khan, who was with Nizamu-l Mulk in the province of the Dakhin, arrived in this territory, and at a most auspicious time sat upon the masnad, administered justice, subjugated a great number of the refractory chiefs, and by his wise measures the country from the banks of the Nerbadda to the vicinity of the town of Sironj, was brought under his power. Notwithstanding that the enemy, having gained great dominion, infested the country from Sattaragarh to the suburbs of Dehli, yet under the good management of this equitable chief the people of his territory were perfectly secure from the ravages of the tyrants. For his surpassing courage and wise administration of the country he received great favours from the throne, and was honoured with the rank of 5000 personal and 5000 horse, together with the insignia of Mahi and Maratib. - [Previous: 16.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.16.6) - [Next: 17.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.17.1) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.16.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.16.7) · Pramāṇa
