Amongst those that flourished in the town of Bahar, the Cazy-gholam-muzaffer, better known under the title of Muzaffer-aaly-qhan, was personally known to Aaly-verdy-qhan, who appointed him to the office of Supreme Judge of Moorshood-abad. He was a learned, ingenious, well behaved man, who wrote well both in verse and in prose. As to those men of merit and knowledge, who led by their particular destiny, quitted the regions of Iran to come to Bengal and into Hindostan, and who in particular settled in Bahar and Azim-abad, the first of those venerable personages was the Prince of the learned and of the illustrious, the Foremost of the renowned doctors, the Veil-drawer of the difficult and hidden passages, the Seal of teachers and institutors, our Lord and Teacher Mahomed-el-medoo-bed-aaly, who changed his name into that of Mohammed-hezin the delivered, (to whom may God have granted a high place in heaven!) He was one of the descendants of Shehtadj-eddin-hibrahim, better known under the name of Zahed-the-djilanian; and his fame was spread all over the world. - [Previous: 18.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.3.1) - [Next: 18.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.3.3) - [Up: 18.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.siyar-al-mutaakhkhirin~en-mustafa.18.3.2) · Pramāṇa
