Very probably this refers to the rigorous collection of taxes and cesses during the two years the Sultan stayed at Dihli after the suppression of the revolt of Bahram Aiba. After the completion of his conquests the Sultan had engaged himself in reorganising the system of revenue as appears from the account of Barani who says that soon after Muhammad's accession tributes came regularly from the various provinces of the empire, among which he includes Telang, Kampil, Dwarsamudra and Mabar which were not conquered until the close of 727 A.H.³⁵ The revision of taxation in the Doab seems to have been part of a general scheme of re-settlement of the revenue system which the Sultan enforced as soon as his authority was established over the different parts of the empire.
