The latter sensible of his own inexperience in Government and revenue matters, and convinced how much Adina-beg-qhan must be skilled in those subjects, and of how much local knowledge he must be possessed, resolved to avail himself of that man's abilities, and he wrote him several civil letters endeavouring to sooth his mind; at last he sent him the patent as well as the Qhylaat of the province of Do-abah. Adina-beg-qhan, softened by this distinction, soon brought the province to a proper order, and the Prince and General, convinced now of his abilities, invited him over to Lahor, where they intended to avail themselves of his experience. But this invitation was not relished by the other. He mistrusted their proffers, and had objections to their neighbourhood; so that he retired again towards the mountains. And Djehan-qhan hearing of this desertion, appointed Murad-qhan to command in the Do-abah, directing Bulend-qhan and Ser-efraz-qhan, two general officers, to support him with a body of troops. Adina-beg-qhan opposed the Syks to this new power; a set of men that had already grown numerous and powerful in the times of the late Mir-mannu, but who had since greatly benefited by the lessons and the protection they had been for a long time receiving from their tutor, Adina-beg-qhan.
