148 W. Irvine—Zhe Bangash Nawdbs of Farrukhabad. [No. 2, 
return was made to the fort in the order in which they had come. At the 
fort all the nobles, chiefmen and bankers attended to congratulate the 
Nawab, and made their offerings. Next day, rich gifts were bestowed on 
the dancers, the buffoons and the story-tellers. Suits of clothes were sent 
to every noble, to the Nawab’s brothers and brothers’ sons, to the chiefs of 
the Bangash tribe and to the employés of the State. 
Mahratta affairs : 1752—1771. 
We have already described the rather complicated arrangement made at 
the peace of 1752. Safdar Jang then owed thirty lakhs, or as some say, eighty 
lakhs of rupees to the Mahrattas, as their pay for the time they had been in 
his service. This debt was transferred to the shoulders of Ahmad Khan, and as 
security the Mahrattas were to obtain sixteen and a half out of the thirty- 
three mabals then forming the territory of Farrukhabad. The Mahrattas, 
as usual, were the sole gainers, while Safdar Jang had no more than the 
empty gratification of having humbled his enemy. 
At one time the Farrukhabad state is said to have consisted of forty- 
four mahals, but of these it is impossible to identify twenty-one, the names 
of which have not been handed down. Of the remaining thirty-three, six- 
teen and a half were assigned to Mulhar Rao by a grant on copper, while 
a corresponding deed on copper for the other sixteen and a half mahdls was 
made over to Ahmad Khan by the Mahratta. The grant was in the name of 
Mahmid Khan, the Nawab’s son, and it stated that so long as a slave of 
the Bangash family was in existence, no Mahratta should interfere with 
those mahals. 
The thirty-three mahals were as follows :— 
1. Shamsdbéd.—In the Farrukhabad district ; it is now divided into 
S. West in Tahsil Kaimganj, 8. East and Muhamdabad in the Sadr Tahsil. 
In the Nawab’s time it included Tappa ’Azimnagar now in the Eta district.

bad district.
