c12.12

Bali Nārāyan was now installed as tributary Raja of Darrang, with the title Dharma Nārāyan. His capital was established at a place on the south bank of the Brahmaputra, which formed part of Darrang, as the term was then understood. The promise of pardon made to Akhek was afterwards revoked, and he suffered the death penalty. The author of the *Pādishāhnāmah* says that this disaster led to the deposition of Qāsim Khān from his office as governor of Bengal.
