v2.c14.s7.5

About this time, as we just said, Churaman the Jat chief had died; this event happened in Zul Hijja 1133 (Sept.—Oct. 1721). As one story goes, there was one of his relations, a wealthy man, who died childless. The brethren sent for Muhkam, the eldest son of Churaman, and made him head of the deceased’s zamindari and gave over to him all the deceased’s goods. Zul Karan, the second son of Churaman, said to his brother “Give me too a share in those goods and admit me as a partner.” A verbal dispute followed and Muhkam made ready to resist by force. Zul Karan determined to have the quarrel out, gathered men together, and attacked his brother. The elders of the place sent word to Churaman that his sons were fighting, which was not well; it were better that he should adjust the dispute.
