She is said to have been very generous and charitable. It was at her 
expense that the tomb of her father, Muhammad Khan, in the Haiyat 
Bagh was repaired. She became a disciple of ’Ata Karim Shah of Salon.* 
When Nawab Muzaffar Jang stopped all the family pensions, she went to 
Delhi, and the Emperor made over to her the income of Bangashghat. On 
Muzaffar Jang’s entreaties she returned, and received in jdgir the village of 
Barna Khurd, j)arganah Bhojpur, 900 kacha bigahs in Khandiya, parganah 
Kampil, and the Tarwala Bagh or Naulakha. When her son Sikandar ’Ali 
Khan died, she turned/h^V, wearing only white clothes or in winter a blan¬

at her son’s tomb. Among her other accomplishments she understood brick¬

was five years old, she married him to the granddaughter of San jar Khan 
of Kudain, parganah Kampil, and obtained for him from Nawab Nasir 
Jang (1796—1813) an allowance of ten rupees a month. 
One day she returned to the Bara Mahal from the house she was build¬ 
ing in Bangashpura, on the site given her by her father at her marriage. 
When she got out of her conveyance she at once asked for a drink of water. 
Her slave girls having conspired to poison her, brought poisoned water in a 
fresh vessel. She drank and then Manavar ’Ali Khan. The latter vomited 
at once and so recovered. Daulat Khatun did nothing, as no traces of poi¬ 
son betrayed themselves. At length when the poison showed itself, every 
remedy was resorted to without effect. In the evening her bed was brought 
out, and her grandson, Sarfaraz ’Ali Khan, with his own hand gave her some
