When Shere became numbered with the dead, his eldest son, Adil, whom he had appointed his successor, was at Rintimpore, and his younger fon, Jellàl, in the village of Rewin, near Pheta. The omrahs, who favored Jellal more than his brother, then at so great a distance, pretended the necessity of filling the throne as loon as possible. They, for that purpose, dispatched ex-presses to Jellal, who arrived in five days in the camp. Jellal, by the influence of Isah Chan, and his party, mounted the throne, in the fortress of Callinger, upon the seventeenth of the first Ribbi, in the year nine hundred and fifty two, and assumed the title of Islam Shaw, which, by false pronunciation, was turned to that of Selim, by which name he is more generally known. Selim, having taken upon him the imperial dignity, wrote to his elder brother, in the following words: “Adil being at so great a distance, and I so near, to prevent disturbance, I took upon me the command of the army till his return. But my intentions are only to forward my brother’s interest, and to support his authority. “Jellal, after writing this letter, marched from Callinger towards Agra, and at Kurrah was met by Chawafs, captain general of his father’s forces, who renewed the ceremonies of royalty, and placed Selim a second time on the throne, holding a magnificent festival upon that occasion. From Kurrah, Selim wrote another letter to his brother, begging in the most affectionate terms, that he would come and fee him.
