(1376-7 A.D.), Shams Damaghani offered forty lacs of tankas in excess of the revenue paid for Gujarat, 100 elephants, two hundred Arab horses, and four hundred slaves, children of Hindu chiefs (mukaddam bachagan), and Abyssinians annually. Malik Ziau-l Mulk Malik Shamsu-d din Aburja was deputy (of the governor) of Gujarat, and an offer was made to confirm it to him on his consenting to these enhanced terms. But he knew he could not pay them, and that Shams Damaghani had made an extravagant offer, so he refused to accept. Shams Damaghani then received a golden girdle and a silver palankin, and was appointed to Gujarat as deputy of Zafar Khan. When he arrived in Gujarat, wild dreams and fancies entered his brain, and he raised the standard of rebellion, for he found that he could not raise the increased revenue and tribute which he had undertaken to pay. At length the new amirs (amir-i sadah) of Gujarat, such as Malik Shaikhu-l Mulk Fakhru-d din, rebelled against Shams Damaghani in the year 778 H., and having slain him they cut off his head, and sent it to Court. His revolt was thus put down. During the prosperous reign of this good and gracious sovereign, his justice and equity had such an effect over every quarter of his territories, that no rebellion had ever broken out, and no one had been able to turn his feet from the path of obedience until the revolt of this Shams Damaghani, and he quickly received the punishment of his perfidy. - [Previous: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.7) - [Next: 1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.9) - [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.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-mubarakshahi~en-elliot.1.8) · Pramāṇa
