The following men were deputed to manage these mahals—Daler Khan, 
chela, was posted to Kunch, Seondah, and Maudah ; Ahmad Khan, Warak- 
zai, to Irichh and Bhander ; Pir Khan, paternal uncle of the Bibi Sahiba, 
Nawab Muhammad Khan’s principal wife, to Kalpl ; Shuj’at Khan, Ghil- 
zai, to Sipri and Jalaun. 
Muhammad Khan founds Kaimganj , Muhamddbdd, and Farrulchdbdd. 
In the first year of Farrukhsiyar’s reign, Muhammad Khan was des¬ 
patched on two expeditions against the Rajah of Anupshahr and Rajah Meda. 
The first named was speedily reduced to submission ; and the latter having 
been made a prisoner, was sent to the Emperor by the hands of Daud Khan, 
chela.

pur having been taken for the purpose. Tradition gives the following 
reason for selecting this site. 11 Before the first Muhammadan invasion a 
group of twenty-seven villages had been given by the Rajah of Khor (now 
known as Shamshabad) to Kharowah Kayaths in his service. Before Mu¬ 
hammad Khan had risen to fame, and was still little more than a common 
trooper, he tried to persuade Har Parshad, kanungo, to record him as the 
jagirdar of a village on the Kali in Tappa ’Azimnagar (now in the Eta 
District). The kanungo refused to do so without superior order. When 
Muhammad Khan rose to power, he recollected this ; and selecting the high 
mound in the Kayath’s land known as “ Kal ka khera”, built on it the fort
