I will not fail to do my duty to the best of my power." Farid Khan, much pleased, accompanied his relatives to his father's presence. His father also was much gratified, and kept him for some months with him. Afterwards, Hasan Khan wished to send Farid to the parganas; but Farid representing to Hasan Khan that he wished first to speak with him, he obtained leave to do so, and thus began: "Many soldiers and subordinates, our kinsmen, have jagirs in these parganas. I shall devote myself to increase the prosperity of the district, and that depends on a just administration; for it has been said by the learned: " \* \* \* When Hasan Khan heard his son's speech he was much gratified, and said:—"I will give you the power both to grant and to resume the soldier's jagirs, and I will not reverse anything you may do." He accordingly sent Farid Khan to his two parganas, with every mark of favour. - [Previous: 3.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2.3) - [Next: 3.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2.5) - [Up: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.2.4) · Pramāṇa
