He then appointed stipends and pensions for the learned and pious who dwelt at Narwar, and gave them dwellings there. He remained six months encamped below the fort. The Sultán having satisfied himself that the citadel of Narwar was a very formidable stronghold, one that could not be retaken if it fell into the hands of an enemy, he raised another fortified wall all round it, so as effectually to preserve it from the attempts of a foe. And having thus freed his mind from the apprehension of danger, he turned his face towards the fort of Agra. On his return march, Ni'amat Khatun, the consort of Kutb Khan, Sultan Bahlol's cousin, arrived, in company with Prince Jalal Khan, in the camp of Sultan Sikandar, who went to visit them, and tried to gain their good-will. Some days after, he appointed the sarkar of Kalpi to be the Prince's jagir, and at the time of his departure favoured him with a present of 120 horses and fifteen elephants, together with dresses of honour and ready money; he then dismissed the Prince and Khatun, and directed them to proceed to Kalpi, after which he continued his route in the direction of Agra. - [Previous: 5.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.3.2) - [Next: 5.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.3.4) - [Up: 5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.5.3.3) · Pramāṇa
