When the hostile parties approached each other, proposals of peace were made, and it was agreed that neither party should injure the other's possessions, and that 'Alau-d din should deny refuge to any of Sikandar's enemies. Sultan Sikandar returned thence to Darweshpur, where he stayed some months, and assigned that district to 'Azam Humayun. At this period grain became very dear, and to relieve the people he released them throughout all his dominion from furnishing the usual zakat of corn, and issued orders for its abolition. From that time it was forbidden, until the reign of the Khalifa of the age, King Jahangir. From that place Sultan Sikandar appointed a large force to proceed against the Raja of Bhata, which he followed in person. - [Previous: 5.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2.3) - [Next: 5.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2.5) - [Up: 5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.2.4) · Pramāṇa
