And if you have appropriated anything, well and good. It is your own property, and it is no reproach. \* \* \* Your degenerate brothers, Sulaiman and the rest, give me daily annoyance. I do not think they are able to manage the country. However much I advise, it makes no impression on them: they have taken away my rest and peace, and their mother is interfering perpetually in my affairs on behalf of her sons. I am obliged to permit Sulaiman and Ahmad to act for a short time as shikkdárs of the parganas, that I may be freed from this daily and nightly vexation." When Farid heard these words from his father, he said, "The two parganas are my father's, let him give their management to whomsoever he will." - [Previous: 3.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.3.8) - [Next: 3.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.4.2) - [Up: 3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-shershahi~en-elliot.3.4.1) · Pramāṇa
