I have previously written that Sultan Mahomed Ghazee came from the seat of the Sultanut Ghuznee, and throwing the noose of subjection over the battlements of the fort of Mooltan, he captured it. After this he sent his agents to Sind, who occupied that country. After the death of Sultan Mahomed, the Sultanut descended to his offspring.

When the turn of government came to Ubdoor Rusheed, the son of Sultan Mahomed,— who, spreading the carpet of pleasure, his heart was occupied in festivals and things of delight,— he did not turn his mind to the matters of the state. On this account the people at many of the distant borders began to disobey orders, they took their heads from out of the ring of submission: in short, at that time men of Soomrah collected in great numbers near Thuree, and placed Soomrah the son of Chundur on the throne of the Sultanut of Sind. (The tribe of Soom­rah had its name from this Soomrah.) He for a long time was the Sirdar of his tribe. He cleared away from the borders of his country all the thorns and refuse, the breeders of dissension, and the disobedient. Zemindar Sad lived in that country, in much power. Soomrah laid the foundation of a connexion with him, and married his daughter. He had a son born to him called Bhoongar, who sat on the throne of the hereditary Sultanut, on the death of Soomrah. During his time he extended his rule. At the latter end of his age he was taken ill, and he gave his life to the angel of death.

His son Doda, succeeding him, took the duties of king. For some years, with great power he managed the country, extending his power to Nusurpoor. He died in the prime of life, leaving a young son called Singhar, and a daughter named Thuree. This Thuree for some time conducted the duties of the government, having the Ryuts under her command. When Singhar grew up, he ascended the throne. He made good arrangements for the country and property; to such men as were powerful and disobedient he gave punishment. Throwing the bridle of the horse of his intentions towards Kutch, he took Nanik Nai from that country. Some years after, he travelled from this world to the other, leaving no children. His wife Humoon lived at, and issued her orders from, the fort of Duhkah. She sent her brothers to govern at Thoor and Thuree. A short time after this, some of the brethren of Doda, who had concealed themselves, came forth, and took out by the roots these brothers of Humoon. One of these, named Peethoo (a descendant of Doda), was joined by many men. Such as set up claims to the throne he destroyed. Ascending it himself, he reigned as long as he lived, and after his death Khaira ruled the country, doing so in a very proper manner; all his acts were approved of. Some years from this, the sun of his life went to the sunset of death. With the concurrence of the Ameers, Khufeef succeeded him, and sat on the throne of the kingdom. Having made good arrangements for the country in his hands, he, with heart at ease, went and remained at Tatta. During his government, the Ryuts, and all the other people of Sind were relieved from thieves, and disturbers of the peace; all were happy and contented. By chance, it one day came into his mind that it was not proper for him to be always merely sitting on the throne; that it was better to spend some time in the Shikargahs, the jungles, and plains, which had become green from rain, and where the animals were grazing happily. After this, having collected many men, he marched against the Beloochees, the Sodahs, and the Jharejas. On reaching their borders, Runmul Sodah, Ram Rai Jhareja, and Mehran Belooch, being introduced by the Ameers, and other men of weight, came and made great offerings. Khufeef, presenting them with handsome presents in return, made them very happy; he then gave them their dismissal.

He proposed returning to Tatta the following morning, but at that time a Belooch came, complaining that the thieves of the tribe of Summah had looted his tribe, taking everything they possessed. On hearing this, Khufeef was much astonished; and at the instant, mounting, with those who were with him, he started, and quickly came against this tribe. He took all the property which had been robbed from the Beloochees, and those men who had disobeyed orders, and acted in this manner, he punished with severity. His arrangements were such in all the country under him, from Kutch to Nusurpoor, that in the whole of that space none during his reign disobeyed his orders; if they did so, he gave them to the sword. When he found that there were none to give trouble, he was at ease, and came to Tatta. In his time all the people, the sepoys, the Ameers, the Ryuts, &c. were very happy. He lived a long while at Tatta, till, from this world, he journeyed to the next world.
