“ Eag’hudeb laving obtained a portion of bis uncle's kingdom, founded 
the town of Ghclabijaya in Kamrup, and erected a temple at Hajo in 1583. 
He died in 1593, and was succeeded by Paricbbat Narain, who made war on 
his uncle Laclimi Narain. Parichhat went to Delhi, and died at Patna on 
his way home from A'grab in 1G0G.* Subsequently, the Muhammadan ruler 
invaded the kingdom to realize the promised tribute. The Mantri succeed- 
ed in obtaining the office of Qaniingo. 
“ Ah this time the kingdom was divided into four sirkars. Baht Narain, 
brother of Parichhat, got the Sirkar, east of Dikrai and west of the river 
Manah. Parichhat’ s son, Bijat Narain, only got the land between the Manah 
and Sankos. The descendants of Bijat Narain are known as the Rajahs of 
Bijni.” 
The following extract from the family history of the Rajahs of Bijni, I 
also owe to Col. Haughton’s kindness. 
“ Maharajah Biswa Singh had two sons. The elder, Nara Narain Blnip 
leigned over that portion of the kingdom which lies between Karatuja and 
Bihar. The younger, Shukladhaj Bliup ruled over the country from Biliar 
o Dikrai. For his impetuosity at time of war, he was called Chilah Eai, 
Hmg Kite.’ His son was Eag’hudeb Narain. The latter had three sons ; 
one was king of Durang, another ruler over Beltalah, and the eldest, Pari- 
o at Narain was Rajah of Bijni. Parichhat waged war with Laclimi Narain ; 
but sorry for having attacked his nearest relation, he turned hermit. He 
went also to Dilili with his Diwan, astonished the emperor by his extra- 
ordinary talents, received a Jchal'at, and was sent back to his country 
with a royal guard. But ho died at Rajmahall on his way home. The 
Hiwan went back to Dilili, and was made Qanungo of Koch Bihar. Pari- 
chhat left a son Chandr Narain, who enjoyed his father’s raj, but did nothing 
remarkable.” [Vide pp, 58 to GO, and Robinson, p. 155.]
