[No. 4, 
1. Yakut Khan, Khan Bahadur. 
On the day after the battle, in which Sayyad Abdulla Khan was taken 
prisoner, ’Azim Khan Bara Khail, a friend of Muhammad Khan’s, presented 
him with a eunuch whom he named Yakut Khan, and he obtained for him 
from Muhammad Shah the title of Khan Bahadur. Yakut Khan is said 
to have held the office of Nazir. On his seal were the words— 
Ydkiit surkh-ru ba-tufail-i-Muhammad ast. 
In his case, the Nawab removed the prohibition against building or 
founding towns, saying that as he had no children it did not matter. Seven 
ganjes were founded by Yakut Khan. 
1. Kasganj, also sometimes called Yakutganj. It is now the most 
important town in the Eta district with, in 1872, 15,764 inhabitants. It 
lies nineteen miles N. of Eta.* * * § 
2. ’Aliganj, in parganah ’Azimnagar of the Eta district, 34 miles E* 
of Eta, and about 30 miles N. W. of Farrukhabad. The date of the fort 
is 1143 H. (6th July 1730—25th June 1731), and the mason Muhammad 
Adam “ Muhammad Khani” appears to be the same as the man mentioned 
at p. 278, who built the fort at Farrukhabad.f 
3. Kauriyaganj. The only identification I can suggest for this place 
is the Kauriyaganj in parganah Akrabad of the Aligarh district, 12 miles 
from Aligarh. J 
4. Khudaganj, on the left bank of the Kalinadi, in parganah Bhoj- 
pur of the Farrukhabad district, on the main road to Cawnpur, 17 miles 
S. E. of Farrukhabad. The ancient name of the village was Sanauli. 
Yakut Khan, besides the bazar, built a masonry sarde with a high gate, and 
a mosque. The date on the gateway was 1152 H. (30th March 1739—18th 
March 1740) ;§ it was removed in 1855-6 to make way for the metalled 
road to Fatehgarh. 
5. Nabiganj. This is a small bazar on the Grand Trunk Road, in the 
parganah of Kishni Nabiganj in the Mainpuri district. It lies about half 
way between Bewar and Chibramau. || 
6. Yakutganj. This town is in parganah Bhojpur of the Farrukha¬ 
bad district, about seven miles S. E. of the citv of Farrukhabad. Kali Rae

the Persian inscription, 1143 H., is correct.
