He was the grandson of Kam Bakhsh, the youngest son of Aurangzib, 

 and was called Muhiyy-ul-Millat.* He was placed upon the throne by 

 Ghazi-ud-din 'Imad-ul-Mulk after the assassination of 'Alamgir Sani 

 on the 8th Kabi'-us-Sani, A. H. 1173. Muzaffari has it that he reigned 

 until the 9th Safar, A. H. 1174, when the Bhao before quitting the 

 capital to engage with the Abdali, deposed him and appointed Prince 

 Jawan Bakht, the son of Shah 'Alam, in his place. This statement 

 appears to be correct ; for I also possess a silver coin of Shah Jahan II., 

 struck in A. H. 1174. Thus he reigned for a whole year and a month. 

 His ultimate fate is unknown.

* Beale in his Miftah-ut- Tawarikh, page 342, says his name was Muhiyy-us- 

 Sunnat. On the other hand, Sayyid Ahmad in his Asar-uc-ganadid, page 42, states 

 that he was the son of Muhiyy-us-Sunnat, the son of Kam Bakhsh. Sayyid Ahmad is 

 right. Vide also Proceedings, A. S. B., for July, 1876. .
