The History of Shēr Shāh (Tārīkh-i Shērshāhī) 3.18.6

3.18.6

Since the previous kings of whom I have treated in this history paid extreme respect to Shaikh Bayazid, he was very anxious as to whether Sher Shah would or would not show him the same civilities. The moment Shaikh Bayazid came unto Sher Shah's darbar, the latter came forward several steps to receive him; and abasing himself gave Shaikh Bayazid precedence. My grandfather expected that Sher Shah would give him his hand, but he said: "Embrace me." When he took leave also, he showed every sign of respect and friendship. When he returned towards Bengal, Sher Shah sent him back to Roh, and gave him one lac of tankas in cash, as well as Bengal silks and clothes of Hindustan. The Shaikh said:—"Since the time of the Langahs the Biluchis have possessed themselves of the rent-free tenures of my predecessors." Sher Shah ordered that Isma'il Khan Biluch should receive instead the pargana of Ninduna, in the Ghakkar country, and that the Biluchis should be made to restore to Shaikh Bayazid, the rightful owner, the land of the Sarwanis, which they had usurped. Isma'il Khan dared not disobey the orders of Sher Shah, so he took pargana Ninduna and the Ghakkar villages, and restored the Sarwanis' land to Shaikh Bayazid. Shaikh Bayazid came a second time to see Sher Shah during the Ujjain and Sarangpur campaign.
