standing, made their obeisance, after which the Nawab acknowledged their 
presence and took his seat. 
The Bihisht Bagh, just south of the Mau Sarde, within the city wall,

elegant in the city, and at one side of it there are the remains of a hand- 
some hot air bath. The Mohalla just to the south, chiefly occupied by 
KaAchis, is called Ahmadganj Khandia. Besides the mosque, there are nine

_ We are told in the Lawh-i. Tartkh that the revenue demand of the 
thirty-three mahals was eighty lakhs of rupees, exclusive of jagirs, assign- 
ments for pay, revenue-free grants, and so forth. Hisam-ud-din tells us that 
the Nawab’s income was sixty lakhs of rupees. The expenditure was as 
follows : Three lakhs a month were required for the soldiers’ pay and the house- 
hold servants of every fort. One lakh went to the expenses of the three 
wives, to the purchase of jewels, and the feeding of fakirs. One lakh was 
spent on the elephants, horses, camels, and artillery establishment. There 
were five hundred guns, large and small, always ready; and the manufac- 
ture of powder and ball went on without intermission. There was in this 
Way an expenditure of at least five lakhs a month ; if there were ever any 
surplus, it was paid into the Treasury. 
In the later years of Ahmad Khan’s life, Bakhshi Fakhr-ud-daula had 
become the leading man in the State. He had the charge of the whole 
territory, and he is praised for the vigour with which he repressed the tur-
