for Sadakat Khan ; and five lakhs of dam for Haidar ’Ali Khan from par- 
ganah Akrabad. # The Nawab’s agent was instructed not to take sidhas 
(collection accounts) for these allowances unless they were withqut the 
condition u pde-hukiT 
On the 5th Jamadi I. of the 13th year (1143 H. = 5th November, 
1730), Muhammad Khan writes from Agra that, of the sixty cannon order¬ 
ed to be delivered from the fort, the commander (kilo’dir) had made over 
no more than twenty-nine. Although there were two thousand cannon in 
store, they offered guns, broken and useless, carrying only a shot of two 
or three pyce (falus) weight and without pallah. The Nawab says he 
might as well take jazail (swivel-guns) at once. Such as they were, 
they had neither carriages nor bullocks, and Muhammad Khan was fain to 
take them as they were. His agent was told to get an order at once from 
the Mir Atash to deliver guns carrying shot of from one seer to three seers 
weight. With whatever artillery could be procured he intended to start. 
As the large cannon given by the Emperor and brought from Delhi 
was defective at the breach, and the other formerly with Nijabat ’Ali Khan 
had been sent back to Court, a request was made for a large cannon carry¬ 
ing a ball of fourteen to fifteen seers, with two others somewhat smaller. 
These could be delivered from the forts of Akbarabad or Gwaliar, where 
there were large guns in store. 
At Akbarabad some three to four hundred troopers presented them¬ 
selves daily to have their horses branded. On entertainment half a month’s 
pay and a little more for necessaries was advanced to each man. A force 
of 8,200 horse and 2,500 foot was collected. It was made up as follows : 
There were 500 horse and 1000 foot under Mukim Khan, 400 horse and 
700 foot under Daud Khan, 600 horse and 600 foot under Sa’adat Khan, 
and 200 foot under Bakhtawar Khan ; Allahyar Khan and others, Dilazaks 
of Dholpur Bari, had brought more than 2000 horse. There were 500 lioise 
under Shaistah Khan, Misri Khan, Khudadad Khan, Muhammad Khan and 
others, seven leaders from Firuzabad and Shikohabad. Fath Khan Yusufzai, 
Ghairat Kban and others came with about 200 horse : and the same number 
Chaube leaders from Mathura. Besides the above there were some 2000 
horse in small parties from Mau, Shahjahanpur, Shahabad and Katahr 
generally. All these were in addition to the men brought from Shahjahana- 
bad. Nawab Koshan-ud-daula had also promised to aid with a corps of 
500 horse and 1000 foot of liumis, Arabs, and Habshis in his pay.
