[Text, vol. ii. p. 281.] The fort of Salir, against which Prince Muhammad A'zam had been sent, is not one capable of investment. It is near the sea, and there are so many ravines near, that hundreds of thousands of horsemen could not invest that lofty fortress. * * Neknam Khan was commandant of Mulhir and faujdar of Baglana. When the Prince was ordered to conquer it, Neknam opened negociations with the commandant of Salir, and by promises and presents, * * induced him to surrender the fortress.
[Three officers in succession, Shahabu-d din, Khan-Jahan, and Kasim Khan, fail to take the fortress of Ram Sij.]
