The Mian styled himself Hazrat 'Ali, and brought the greater portion of Bengal under his sway. Kings and other chiefs sent offerings to him, and Akbar Badshah offered no opposition to his claims. On the death of Sulaimán, his eldest son Báyazid succeeded his father. This prince, being of a haughty disposition, not only neglected to imitate his father in his kindly method of treating his self-sufficient Afghans, but did his best to distress and humiliate them. He showed a desire of getting rid of his father's courtiers. On this account, several of the nobles joined themselves with the son-in-law and nephew of Hazrat 'Ali, the latter of whom, by name Hasu, was of weak intellect, and put Mian Bayazid to death. Mian Lodi, a grandee of Mian Sulaiman, who held the chief authority in the State, gained over the Afghans, and raised Daud, the youngest son of Hazrat 'Ali, to the throne, with the title of Daud. Daud Shah, having opened the door of enjoyment, indulged in intoxicating drinks, and thus sowed the seeds of dissension. He would often repeat this verse: "If my father is dead, I am the guardian of the world! I am the inheritor of the crown of Sulaiman." - [Previous: 14.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.14.3) - [Next: 14.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.14.5) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.14.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.14.4) · Pramāṇa
