In the 12th year of Akbar’s reign (974-5 H.) he entered into a 
compact with him to strike the coin in Akbar’s name; and be- 
fore this year, he was probably too cautious to issue any in his 
own name.! After conquering Orissa and Koch Bihar, he died 
in 980 H. The exact month of his death is not given, but it 
must have taken place in the beginning of the second half of 
the Hijra year, as news reached Akbar while engaged in the 
Surat campaign, the siege of that fortress beginning on 18th 
Ramazan, 980 H. (22nd January, 1573 A.D.).? 
His elder son Bayazid succeeded him. Unlike his father, he 
had the Khutba recited and the coins 
struck in hisown name. Nocoins of his 
have yet been found. After a short time, 
Daiid, five or six months according to Badaoni, he 
980—984 H. was murdered by his brother-in-law Hansu 
and other amirs. Hansu was in turn 
killed by Lodi, who raised the younger son Daiid to the throne. 
Daud continued to coin money in his own name. His extant 
coins range from 981 to 984 H. (1573 to 1576 A.D.), with the 
mint Tanda.’

returning, Munim reached the capitalon 10th Safar, 983 H. (21st 
May, 1575, A.D.), and without entering it he proceeded against 
the rebels, who retired. Munim did not like the place and 
ordered the soldiers and the rayats to remove to Gaur, in the end 
disastrously for himself and his followers. He died on the com- 
pletion. of 10th Rajab, 983 H. (16th October 1575 A.D.).* Daiad 
marched against Tanda, which the Imperialists hurriedly aban- 
doned, when he re-occupied it with the frontier fort of Garhi. 
Khan Jahan was sent against him as governor of Bengal. A 
decisive battle was fought at Agmahal on 15th Rabi I, 984 H. 
(12th June 1576 A.D.), in which Daiad was defeated and cap-
