On being raised to empire, Zuffir Khan did not forget his protector: the Bramin was appointed to the charge of the treasury, and had the honour of giving the appellation of Bahminee to a dynasty of Patan kings. Zuffir Khan was recognized as sovereign in the year 1347, and assumed the title of Sultan Alla-ud-deen Hoossein Kangoh Bahminee. - [Previous: v1.c8.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c8.24) - [Next: v1.c8.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c8.26) - [Up: v1.c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c8.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c8.25) · Pramāṇa
