1878.] W. Irvine— The Bang ash Nawdhs of Farrulchdbdd. 345 
6. Islam Khan. One of the five principal chelas executed at Delhi. 
There is an Islamganj in parganah Bhojpur ; and parganah Amritpur in 
the Farrukhabad District is also called Islamganj, but whether after this 
chela or not, I do not know. He had a son named ’Usman Khan. 
7. Sardar Khan. He, too, was one of the chelas executed at Delhi. 
8. Datjd Khan. He is said to have been originally a Brahman. He 
was one of the chelas, with the Nawab in his younger days, to whom the 
Bibi Sahiba observed no pardah. We have seen him employed to take 
a rebel Bajah to the Emperor in 1713-14 (see p. 275). In 1720-1 he 
was appointed ’amil of parganah Shamshabad. He had charge of the col¬ 
lections of Jaunpur and Banaras, when the subah of Allahabad was under 
the Nawab, and he acted as naib faujdar of Sarangpur in Malwa. Daud- 
ganj, in parganah Azimnagar of the Eta district, was founded by him. 
9. Bhure Khan. A story told of this man shows the amount of license 
accorded to these chelas. One day Bhure Ivhan, coming into darbar late, 
could find no jdace to sit. Kicking away the pillow separating Muhammad 
Khan and Kaim Khan, he sat down between the Nawab and his son. Kaim 
Khan turned angrily to his father, and said “ You have given such freedom 
to these chelas that they will never respect me.” Muhammad Khan replied 
that he loved them as he did his sons. Kaim Khan got up in a rage, and went 
off to his home at Amethi. Muhammad Khan then scolded Bhure Khan, 
saying, that he had lost confidence in him, for if while he was alive they did 
not respect his sons, who knew what they would do when he was dead. 
Bhure Khan putting up his hands, said “ May God Almighty grant that I 
“ never see the day when you no longer live.” He was the Nawab’s deputy 
in the Subah of Allahabad. He was killed in 1728 in the battle against 
Iiajah Chattarsal at Ichauli. (See p. 290.) 
10. Sa’dat Khan. He was ’amil of Mandeshwar* in Malwa, south 
of Nimach, during the time the Nawab held that subah, His seal bore the 
words Be lutf-i-Muhammad Scddctt na bud. A grandson, Imam Khan, lived 
in Shaukat Jang’s time (1813—1823) at the gateway of the Khas Mahal, 
and received an allowance of a rupee a day. Another descendant, Ghairat 
Khan, was alive in 1839, but so poor that he had not even food to eat. 
When Muhammad Khan quarrelled with Sa’dat Khan Burhan-ul-Mulk, 
Subahdar of Audh, he gave his chela, Sa’dat Khan, the ironical title of 
Burhan-ul-Mulk. The revenues of the Gwaliar country, then under imme¬ 
diate charge of ’Umr Khan Gwaliari, were paid in at Mandeshwar. 
11. Neknam Khan. He was one of the four chelas to whom the 
Bibi Sahiba used to appear unveiled. He had the charge of the buildings 
at Farrukhabad ; his masjid and well, fort and bdgh still existed in 1839 ; 
* Thornton, 645. In Scindiah’s territory and the chief place of a parganah. It 
lies 350 miles S. W. of Gwaliar and 80 miles N. W. from Ujain.
