Against this unnatural act may be set a display of foolish generosity. In the year of his accession Muhammad permitted Ghiyās-ud-dīn Bahādur, the worthless and turbulent prince whom his father had brought in chains from Bengal, to return to Sonārgāon, where he was associated in the government of Eastern Bengal with Tātār Khān, who had been entitled Bahrām Khān and left at Sonārgāon as governor by Ghiyās-ud-dīn Tughluq. In the following year Nāsir-ud-dīn, who was reigning at Lakhnāwati as Muhammad's vassal, died, and Qadr Khān was appointed by Muhammad governor of Western Bengal.
