During his reign, innumerable Afghan chiefs attached themselves to him, and he treated the Afghans and those of his own tribe with the greatest kindness. Whenever he granted an allowance to one of his chiefs to supply his wants, he from that day placed confidence in him, and said, "I have sown good seed, I shall lose nothing by it!" His nephews had no equal in bravery and liberality. All the nobles and soldiers of Sikandar were well satisfied; each of his chiefs was appointed to the government of a district, and it was his especial desire to gain the goodwill and affections of the body of the people. For the sake of his officers and troops, he put an end to war and disputes with the other monarchs and nobles of the period, and closed the road of contention and strife. He contented himself with the territory bequeathed him by his father, and passed the whole of his life in the greatest safety and enjoyment, and gained the hearts of both high and low. An account of several of the chiefs of Sikandar will be found in its proper place, after the completion of the relation of what happened during this reign. - [Previous: 3.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.3.6) - [Next: 4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.4.1) - [Up: 3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.3.3.7) · Pramāṇa
