that the envoys’ overtures had been rejected. A body of them rushed 
at once to the Rajput tents, attacked their guards, and plundered all 
their property. There was great difficulty in suppressing this disorder. 
The envoys were sent for, their chains removed, and full apologies made. 
The envoys themselves were satisfied and continued the negotiation, 
but news of the outbreak having reached the Rajah, he fled. Husain 
‘All Khan was thus forced to advance to Mairtha, where he halted 
until the terms of peace had been arranged. 1 
The terms were that the Rajah should give one of his daughters 
in marriage to the Emperor, in the mode which they styled Dolah , * 
that the Rajah’s son, Abhai Singh, should accompany Husain ‘All Khan 
to coart, and that the Rajah in person should attend when summoned. 3 
Zafar Khan (Roshan-ud-daulah) arrived at Court on the 5th Jamadi I 
1126 H. (18th May, 1714), with the news. Husain ‘Ali Khan sent the 
greater part of his army back to Dihli, and remained for two months in 
Ajmer, restoring the country to order. On the 26th Jamadi II 1126 H. 
(8th June, 1714), it had been reported that he was at Puhkar, west of 
Ajmer, on his way back from Mairtha. On the return march, owing to 
the great heat, they moved at night and halted in the day. On the 
2nd Rajab (13th July, 1714), he arrived at Sarae Allahwirdi Khan. On 
the 5th he was presented to the Emperor, being received with great 
outward cordiality, and the commanders who had served under him were 
richly rewarded. Zafar Khan was honoured with the special title of 
Fidwi-i’Farmanbardar , “ the loyal and order-obeying servant.” Kunwar 
Abhai Singh’s audience took place three days afterwards (19th July, 
1714), with all fitting ceremony, 4

During Husain ‘All Khan’s absence, Mir Jumlah’s power had gone 
on increasing. Farrukhsiyar had made over his seal to this favourite, 
aud was often heard to say openly: “ the word and seal of Mir Jumlali 
are the word and seal of Farrukhsiyar.” On his side, Qutb-ul-Mulk was 
immersed in pleasure and found little or no leisure to devote to state

8 Tod II, 82, Abhai Singh was recalled from Razdurroh and marched to Delhi 
with Husain ‘Ali Khan at the end of Asarh 1770. The last day of that month 
equals 28th June, 1713, or if the southern reckoning be followed, it then falls in 
1714 (17th June, 1714).
