The Almighty’s mercy be upon them! In short, Ghiyas-ud-Din, ’Iwaz, the Khalj, was a monarch worthy, just, and benevolent. The parts around about the state of Lakhanawati such as Jaj-nagar, the countries of Bang, Kamrud, and Tirhut, all sent tribute to him ; and the whole of that territory named Gaur passed under his control. He acquired possession of elephants, wealth, and treasures, to a great amount. - [Previous: 190.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.1.4) - [Next: 190.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.1.6) - [Up: 190.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.1.5) · Pramāṇa
