was detained at home by his own rebellious subjects. When Ahsan Bakht 
and ’Iméd-ul-Mulk reached Sindh, the Kabul troops, hearing of the death 
of Taimur Shah, returned to their home. ’Imad-ul-Mulk and Nasir Khan 
Bilich went to Bahawalpur. In time a quarrel arose between the prince 
and ’Imad-ul-Mulk, owing to many of the prince’s companions being mean 
and base fellows. The prince remained in Multan, where he became afflict - 
ed with melancholy madness and passed the rest of his days there out of 
his senses. Meanwhile ’Imad-ul-Mulk found his way to ’Ali Bahadur 
Mahratta, son of Shamsher Bahadur, who had an army and some territory 
in Bundelkhand. From him he obtained a grant of fifty-two villages, 
which form the petty state, now known as Bdoni, measuring about fifteen 
miles across each way. It lies about 12 miles east of Kalpi, in a bend of 
the river Jamna.* ’Imad-ul-Mulk died at Kalpi on the 10th Rabi I, 
1215 H. (lst September 1800), when his age must have been about sixty- 
eight. According to the orders contained in his will he was buried at the 
shrine of Shekh Farid Shakkarganj atPakpatan.t His son, Nasir-ud-daula, 
was in possession when the British occupied Bundelkhand in 1803, and to 
him the grant was confirmed by the Governor-General’s letter of the 24th 
December 1806. The further history of the family will be found in the 
Gazetteer, under the article Baoni. 
By ’Umdah Begam, daughter of Mw’in-ul-Mulk, the son of Kamr-ud-

and by Gunna Begam, daughter of ’Ali Kuli Khan, Daghistani, poetically styl- 
ed WaAlih, he had one son, Nasir-ud-daula. By another wife he had a son, 
Ghulim Jalani Khan, who died at Delhi from eating ice. The MWoa’asir-ul- 
Umra tells us that he had a large family, and one of his sons finding his 
way to Haidarabad was, on account of his relationship to the reigning 
house, made a Pan} Hazari, with the title of Hamid-ud-daula and a money 
allowance, 
Gunna Begam, ’Imad-ul-Mulk’s wife, came to Farrukhébad with him.
