Biography
On Ráinah's death, Sanjar became the Jám of Sind. By legend, before his ascent to the throne, a pious fakír had highly favoured him. When Sanjar informed him that he had a very strong desire to become the king of Tattá, though for only 8 days, the fakír gave him his blessings, telling him that he would be the king for 8 years.
During his rule, Jám Sanjar distributed money to charities and increased the pay of responsible officers. After reigning for 8 years, he died in 896 A.H. (1490 A.D.)
