(1355 A.D.), the Sultan proceeded to Dibálpur, and conducted a stream (júi) from the river Satladar (Sutlej), for a distance of forty kos as far as Jhajjar. In the following year he brought the stream of Fírozábád from the mountains of Mandatí (sic) and Sirmor, and having thrown into it seven distinct streams, he conducted it to Hánsí. From thence he led it to Aráman, and there he built a strong fort, which he called Hisar Fírozah. Below the palace (kúshk), he dug an extensive tank, and filled it with the waters of that canal. He formed another canal from the Khakhar (Khagar), to the fort of Sarsutí, and from thence to Harbi-khir. There he built a fortified place which he called Firozabad. He brought another canal from the river Jumna, and threw it into the tank of that city, from whence he carried it on farther. In the month of Zi-l hijja, on the day of the 'I'd-i azha, in the year before named, a robe of honour and a diploma arrived from the Khalifa al Hakim bi amr-illah Abu al Fath Abu Bakr Abu al Rabi' Sulaiman, the Khalifa of Egypt, confirming on (the Sultan) the territories of Hindustan. \* \* \* - [Previous: 1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.1) - [Next: 1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.3) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.2) · Pramāṇa
