Daulat Qazi

Died in 1638

Daulat Qazi was born around 1600 into a family of qadis in the village of Sultanpur, in Raozan, in the district of Chittagong. A man of learning, he found no recognition at home and left for Arakan, where he was received at the court of King Thiri Thudhamma and protected by Ashraf Khan, the minister of war; both were Sufis. He says almost nothing about himself in his work. He died around 1638, and scholars place his tomb in the region of Akyab.
