clothes to tatters. Brought in this pitiable naked Sal ie 
fore the new wazir, he begged piteously that his life m 
spared, Muhammad Amin Khan, after sending for a met of 
clothes, ordered the Rajah to be put in chains and kept a 
prisoner. His case was an example of the saying: ‘As you site 
so shall it be done unto you.”! In spite of all their efforts Ratn 
Cand made no disclosure of the Sayyid’s treasure or buried 
hoards. A short time afterwards, while they were on the march, 
he tried to escape. The Mughals who were guarding him pur- 
sued him, cut him down, and would have liked to ‘sey him. 
But he was reserved for formal execution. 
Mubkma, the sen of Cura, Jat, was brought ina prisoner, 
and in his despair offered to turn Mahomedan if his life were 
spared, but Muhammad Shah declined his offer and treating him 
kindly sent him away. Sayyid Asaduflah Khan was also cap- 
pee and was long kept in confinement, until he received permis- 
to make the pilyrimage to Mecca and started for the 
Dakhin. Ghulam ‘Ali Khan, because he had been the emissary 
sent to Delhi to bring Muhammad Shah to Agrah to be enthroned 
as emperor, was spared and protected ; but in a fey anys made 
use of an opportunity, and escaped to ‘Abdallah Khan5 
The death of such a highly placed and powerful noble as 
Husain ‘Ali an gave rise, as usual in such cases, to many 
myths and legends. One man said he dreamt that he was in the 
aiictice-hall of the Imam Husain. Husain ‘Ali Khan, in 
ined raiment, presented himself at the door. He wa s brought 
in with honour, the Imam greeting him with the words: Balagha 
wa‘daka, wa ghilaba ‘adaka. ‘Strange to say these words yield, 
taken »s two chronograms, the year of the Sayyid’s martyrdom. 
Other chron nograms were found, meaning ‘‘The month Muhar- 
ram of Husain arose anew” and “In the Indian Karbala a 
second Husain was martyred by: a ane aga d.”
