Khan, after which he was rewarded with the rank of Three Thousand, 2000 
horse, and the title of Bahadur. In the attack on Mubariz Khan he com¬ 
manded the van. When Asaf Jah had overcome all opposition he obtain¬ 
ed for Kadirdad Khan the rank of Panj Hazari, 4000 horse. Kadirdad 
was assassinated by one of his own servants. As he left no issue, Asaf Jah 
out of his jagirs granted to his relations the town of Janiganw (?) in the 
Subah of Aurangabad and the village of Ambarah in Subah Khandesh. 
These were still in possession of the family when the “ Maasir-ul-Umra” 
was written. 
The Mau tradition alleges that Shamshabad was granted to Mirzae 
Khan, while Rashid Khan and Hadidad Khan received appointments in the 
Dakhin. At first the Nawab lived in Shamshabad close to the tomb of Fir 
Aziz-ullah, and Mau was not founded for two years. The Nawab’s troops 
who took up their residence in Mau are said to have been 900 Toyah horse¬ 
men, Muhammadzai, 600, Warakzai, 500, Dilazak, 400, Gfhilzai, 400, Kha¬ 
lil, 400, Khatak, 400, Mataniya, 300, Lohani, 200, Afridi 200, Bangash, 
100, in all, including other tribes, about 15,000 fighting men. Oral tradi¬ 
tion asserts that the settlement of Mau was opposed by the Rathor chiefs 
of Rampur # and Khemsipur.f The Muhammadans under ’Abd-us-Samad, 
alias Mirza Khan, Muhammadzai, Baud Khan, Yar Khan, Burhan Khan, 
Toyah, and Mir Khan, Khatak, gained a signal victory near Khemsipur. 
The Rajah of Rampur was wounded and taken prisoner. 
Nawab Rashid Khan’s tomb, a plain but substantial domed edifice 
without any inscription, stands on the high land above the Burh-Ganga or 
old bed of the Ganges. It was repaired by a former Collector, Mr. Newn- 
ham, in 1826. J At its side, surrounded by a wall, is the masonry tomb of 
the Nawab’s wife. The tombs are surrounded by ancient asupalu and mm 
trees. The attendant in charge is an old Khanzadah woman. 
At Masita Khan Khanzadah’s chaupdl , there lies a flat stone weigh¬ 
ing some ten maunds which the popular voice, with, as my informant truly 
says, some exaggeration, declares was carried every day by the Nawab to the 
Ganges to stand on while bathing. The site of the Nawab’s fort is styled 
the Jcot, Kachis and some Khanzadahs occupy it, two high gates still 
stand, and there is some brick pavement left. Part of the land is still call¬ 
ed Muhalla Gau-khana, and a little of the so-called Bara Bazar still exists ; 
in it is a mosque known as the Jama’ Masjid, without any inscription, 
which was repaired two years ago by Nizam ’Ali Khan Mataniya of Mubal- 
la Kila’, an employe of the Haidarabad State. In Khanpur, close to Sham¬ 
shabad, there is a Barahdari built by Mirza Khan, cousin of the Nawab, and
