AN ACCOUNT OF JAM TUGHLUG SHAH, THE SON OF SEKUNDER.

When Jam Futteh Khan placed his side on the bed of sickness, from the sensations which he felt he saw the face of death. Therefore, three days before he died, he seated his brother Tughlug on the throne of the Sirdaree, placing in his hands the reigns of the government, and giving him the title of Jam Tughlug Shah. On ascending the throne of the Sultanut, Jam Tughlug Shah sent his brothers to rule over Sehwistan, and the fort of Bukkur. He himself spent much of his time in hunting and exercise. The Beloochees near Bukkur beginning to cause disturbances, the Jam, taking a large force with him, went there, and having given the Beloochee Sirdars severe punishment, he turned back. He placed Thanas in each Purguna, to prevent disturbances. The length of his reign was twenty-six years, when he died a natural death.
