brother Chundur Bin Silabij was vice-regent of the empire. Muttah, 

 Chundur Bin Si- tne governor of Sewistan, went to the Rahi of Kunnuj, 

 labl J* reporting Chach's death, and saying, " His brother is 



now lieutenant of the empire, if you attempt it the possession of the 

 country will be an easy affair." The Rahi sent his brother named 

 Basahis to Muttah ; and Chundur immediately on hearing this prepar- 

 ed to oppose his enemy, and pursued Muttah and Basahis through 

 various portions of his dominions up to the vicinity of Alor ; they tried 

 various schemes, but at last failed. In short, he ( Chundur) ruled pros- 

 perously, until the 8th year, when he died. After him, his nephew, 



2nd. — Dahir Bin Chach, adorned the throne ; his brother Dihir Sin 

 Dahir, sonofChach, he sent to Brahminabad as governor. One day he 

 2nd Brahmin. inquired of the astrologers as to his fate ; they told 



him there was no bad omen in it, "but with whomsoever your sister 

 marries he will succeed to Alor, and rule the country." Through fear of 

 losing the country, Dahir contrived and married his own sister. His 

 brother Dihir Sin was vexed at this intelligence, and prepared a force, 

 Dihir Sin, his bro- and in time arrived at Alor, but died from small-pox ; 



ther, rebels against 



him : his death. Dahir caused him to be burnt, and proceeded to 

 Brahmanabad, where he married his wife (brother's) the daughter of 

 Akham Lohana, and remained there one year ; and having appointed 

 the son of Dihir Sin, named Chach governor of Brahmanabad : he re- 

 turned to Alor, where he repaired the fort, which had only been half 

 completed by his father, and arranged that four months of the cold wea- 

 ther should be passed in Brahmanabad, and four months of spring at Alor. 

 In this way he occupied himself for eight years, and by degrees the affairs 

 of the State were settled satisfactorily. 



In short, having fixed the boundaries of his dominions to the east, 

 he planted two cypress trees as a mark on the confines of Cashmere, 

 and returned.
