Naslrl. 1 In a few months’ time, when the infant died of small pox, the 
subah was granted to Mir Jumlah, with the same deputy. To Orissa,

For the six provinces making up the Dakhin special arrangements 
were made. The supreme control of the whole country was confided to 
Cin Qilic Khan (son of the late Ghazlu-d-dln Khan, Firuz Jang), who
