In the \*Akbarnāmah\* it is said of him that he "has 4,000 horse and 200,000 foot, 700 elephants and 1,000 ships. His country is 200 \*kos\* long and from 100 to 40 \*kos\* broad, extending in the east to the Brahmaputra, in the north to Tibet, in the south to Ghorāghāt and in the west to Tirhut." In 1597 he gave a daughter in marriage to Raja Mān Singh, at that time the governor of Bengal.
