Edit ProfileCareer
lieutenant is believed that before his coming to the throne, a pious fakír had been very fond of him. That one day Sanjar informed him that he had a very strong desire to become the king of Tattá though it should be for not more than 8 days. And that the fakír had given him his blessings, telling him that he would be the king of the place for 8 years.
Jám Sanjar ruled the country very wisely.
Under no ruler before this had the people of Sind enjoyed such ease of mind. He was very fond of the company of the learned and the pious.
Every Friday he used to distribute charities and had fixed periodical allowances for those who deserved the same. He increased the pay of responsible officers.
One Kází Maarúf, who had been appointed by the late rulers to be the Kází of Bakhar, was in the habit of receiving bribes from the plaintiffs as well as from the defendants.
When this fact came to the notice of Jám Sanjar, he sent for the Kází and asked him about lieutenant The Kází admitted the whole thing. “Yes” said he “I do demand something from the plaintiffs as well as the defendants, and I am anxious to get something from the witnesses too, but before the case closes, they go away and I am disappointed in that.” Jám Sanjar could not help laughing at this.
After a successful reign of 8 years Jám Sanjar died in 896 Ampere-hour (1490 AD).
