During the time of Muhammad Shah, says the Riyaz, the town of 
Panduah became so flourishing, that it cannot be sufficiently described. 
T1 le king also built a mosque, a reservoir, the Jalali Tank, and a Sarai in 
Gaur ; in fact, Gaur also was again during his reign occupied. He reigned 
for seventeen years. In the year 812 [822], he made the Palace of Gaur his 
residence. A large dome with his tomb still exists in Panduah, and 
the tombs of his wife and his son are at the side of his in the same vault.’
