At this period the Rajah, who had attained to nearly his eightieth year, died, and was succeeded by his son, Rajah Bij, who is also called Bijayi Diw, in 1221 of Bikramaditya; and in that year, which corresponds with 582 H., the Sultan \[Mu’izz-ud-Din\] crossed the Sind at the Nilab ferry, where the Rajah’s Mian-ji went to receive him; and on the banks of the Bihat \[the Jhilam\] the Rajah’s son, Nar-singh Diw, joined him with a considerable force. He was presented to the Sultan through Husain-i-Khar-mil, and received with honour. He accompanied the Sultan to Lah-nor, which was taken, and made over to the charge of Kar-makh \[’Ali-i-Kar-makh, who is turned into Kirmany by Briggs !\], governor of Multan. The Rajah’s son and his agent were dismissed with honorary robes, and the town of Sial-kot, together with the fort, was entrusted to the care of the Rajah. Khusrau was taken to Ghaznin, and was subsequently put to death. From the circumstance of the Sultan, in his communications, styling the Rajah’s agents by the term Mian-ji, according to the custom of Iran, instead of Wakil, the whole family of the Jamun-wal \[not the present dynasty\] considering this title great honour, adopted it; and from it the abridged term Mian, used by their descendants, is derived.” - [Previous: 170.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.1.5) - [Next: 170.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.1.7) - [Up: 170.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.1.6) · Pramāṇa
