| '''Jam Nizamuddin''' was ] ruler of ] with capital at ] in modern ]. His grave is located at ] in near Thatta. | |||
| On the 25th of ], 866 (A. D. ]), after the death of ], he sat on the throne of the ]. When he was firm as ], he raised on high the standard of his strong predominance. It is said, that at the commencement of his manhood he sought after knowledge, spending much of his time in the college and cloister. His disposition was modest and happy; he was celebrated for his good, affectionate temper; he offered much prayer to ], doing great abstinence. His excellences are beyond what little I can write. At the commencement of the reign of ], he went with a large force to ], remaining there one year, taking out by the roots those who thieved and disturbed the country. He placed in the fort of Bukkur great stores of provision, and requisites of every ], appointing over it the son of one of his slaves. The people on the border were so well under his authority, that travellers went along the roads without apprehension. Having made all these arrangements in the space of one year, he returned to ] with his heart at ease (about A. D. 1509). For a period of forty-eight years he reigned at ] with absolute power; in his ], the men of piety and learning, and the Fakeers, spent their time in great happiness, and the sepoys and Ryuts were in comfortable circumstances. | |||
| ] and ] Lungah of ] were contemporary friends. Between them there were many roads of esteem and friendship; they were always sending something to each other. | |||
| The ] was in the habit of visiting the stable every week. He was in the habit of stroking the horses down the face with his hands, saying— “Oh my wealthy one! I do not want to mount you, unless to go against Kafirs, because on all sides the rulers are ]s; do you ask of God, that I may not go beyond the order of the laws of ], and that no one may come against me. God forbid that the blood of any ] should flow, so that I should have shame before God!” | |||
| During the time of his rule, ] rules attained so much life, that my understanding does not extend beyond them. The congregations of both great and small assembled in the ]s; no one was willing to say his prayers alone. If any one was not present with the congregation, he repented, begging forgiveness for two or three days. | |||
| In the latter days of the reign of ], the forces of ] ], coming from ], fell upon many villages of ] and ]. The ] sent a large force to expel these ]s, which arrived at ], commonly known as ], where a battle was fought, in which the brother of ] was killed, and his forces being defeated, they turned the bridle of retreat towards Kandahar; and during the life of] they did not come back again. The Jam spent much time in discoursing on knowledge, with the learned of those times. In his time ], proposing to come from ] to ], sent ]s, and ], both his disciples, to Thatta, to ask the Jam to give him a place to live in. The Jam fixed upon a very handsome residence for him, settling the requisites for his subsistence, sending by his two disciples much money for his road expenses. But before these came, ] had travelled to another world: ] and ], recollecting the society of the Jam, returned back to Thatta. | |||
| Some time after this, Jam Nizam-ood-deen raised on high the banner of his departure to the world eternal. | |||
| After his death, much dissension arose in the condition of the people of Jamote state. | |||
