Ascending the throne at the age of thirty he had reached the apogee of power at forty-five through unrivalled skill, studied tact, and phenominal energy. From nothingness he rose to be one of the greatest rulers of medieval times. With the help of a strong and disciplined army he pulled down native princes and stamped out sedition from the land. By a systematic tariff policy he controlled the fluctuating market, and with an efficient administrative machinery effectively governed the country for two decades. - [Previous: c18.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.lal-1950.c18.38) - [Next: c19.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.lal-1950.c19.3) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.lal-1950.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.lal-1950.c19.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.lal-1950.c19.2) · Pramāṇa
