and Kocliis, and established himself at Mauza’ Matlali,# which belongs to 
Karibari, where he erected a fortified camp near the Brahmaputra, at a place 
full of jungle. The imperialists, on the 10th Sha’ban of the 10th year [1046, 
A. H.], came from the Uttarkol, the left [right] bank of the Brahmaputra, 
and arrived in rapid marches opposite to Karibari. They crossed the river, and 
resolved next day to attack Chandr Narain. But the latter used the respite 
thus afforded him, fled from Karibari, and retreated to Parganah Solmari, 
where he had stayed before. The imperialists, next day, received the sub- 
mission of the chiefs of Karibari, both of paiks and ryots, levelled the forti- 
fications erected by Chandr Narain, and cut down the jungle round about the 
stockades. Jaliil, a relation of the zamindar Ma’<;um, was left here with 400 
matchlockmen and paiks as garrison. 
The imperialists now returned across the Brahmaputra, and entered 
Parganah Mardangi, which belongs to the Dak’hinkol. The chief of the 
district had also the name of Pariehhat, and was father-in-law to Chandr 
Narain. By promises and threats they succeeded in getting him to come to 
the camp. About the same time the zamindar of Solmari also, who from 
fear of Chandr Narain had fled to K'hoiff'hag'hat, joined the imperialists. 
They then marched to Dhobri, where they.fell in with the traitor Satrjit and 
the convoy ships which he had managed to detain. As they had heard ol 
Satrjit’s treachery, and orders had in the meantime arrived from Islam Khan 
to seize him, they secured him and sent him on the Dhaka. 
This Satrjit was the son of Mukindra, zamindar of Bosnah, which lies 
three stages from Dhaka ‘ on this side.’ Shaikh ’Alauddin, when Governor 
[under Jahangir] of Bengal, had sent him along with the army which then 
invaded Hajo ; and as he distinguished himself in the war, he had, after the 
conquest of the country and the return of the army, been appointed Thanah- 
dar of Pandu and Gauhatti, where, chiefly through his numerous dependants, 
he had obtained the friendship of the Asamese, and had also, by his influence 
as zamindar of Bosnah, become quite intimate with the chiefs of Koch. The 
governors of Bengal who succeeded Shaikh ’Alauddin, had often called him ; 
but he made for ever excuses and neither paid his respects, nor did he send 
the customary peslilcash. When, however, Islam Klran was made governor, 
he found that subterfuges availed nothing, and calling his son, who was in 
Jahanglrnagar, to take his place, he paid his respects to the governor, and 
was ordered to join the corps under Shaikh Muhiuddin. But he was a 
traitor, and kept on friendly terms with the A'sam Elijah and Baldeo, Pari- 
chhat’s brother, and not only furnished them with information, but induced 
many zamindars to rebel. He now met with his deserts, and was imprisoned 
m Jahanglrnagar and executed.
