were cleared and roads were made. After the death of Bhagaban Ray his youngest
brother Bangabinod Ray became the Kanungo and obtained large devottor and lakhraj
(rent-free lands) from the Emperor. One of the
devottor properties was the area where the deity Kiritesvari was installed and it was
described as Bhabanithan. After Bangabinod the post of the Kanungo and the property went
to Bhagaban's son Hari Narain. Darpa Narain, son of Hari Narain became quite famous
and resided in Dacca as the Kanungo.
It was in Darpa Narain's time that Azimush shah grandson of
Aurangazeb was the ruler of Bengal. Murshid Kuli Khan came to Dacca as the Dewan of
Bengal. Murshid Kuli Khan did not get on well with Azimush shah. He left Dacca
and came to Mukhsudabad became Murshidabad. |
