Rule of Rai Sahasi II
King Rai Meharsan II was killed by arrow during a war with Nimruz of Fars. Following this Rai Sahasi II became ruler of the Rai Dynasty. Rai Sahasi appointed four Governors (Maliks) to protect the interests of his kingdom and people, to facilitate repairs to state buildings, and to manage feudal assignees and estate-holders. His kingdom and subjects, which he ran with firm control, showed no opposition or challenge to his measures or defined boundaries.
Rai Sáhasi's chamberlain (wazir) Rám, a Brahman, was considered widely-knowledgeable. Rám's assistant was fellow-Brahman Chach, son of Selaij; Chach had impressed Rám with his talents. Chach later became Sahasi Rai's assistant secretary, and following Rai Sáhasi's death, he was appointed Sahasi Rai's chamberlain and secretary.
