W. Irvine— The Later Muahals. 
arrived at Dihli with Curaman and his nephew, Rapa. They went 
first to visit Qutb-ul-mulk, which angered Farrukhsivar very much. 
On the 19th (19th April, 1718) the formal presentation to the Emperor 
took place, the introduction being made by Qutb-ul-mulk. Farrukhsivar 
granted this audience very ungraciously, and absolutely refused to see 
Curaman a second time. Two days afterwards Sayyad Khan Jahan, in 
return for his services, received the addition to his titles of the word 
“ Bahadur ” and was promoted to 5,000 horse. On the 30th (30th 
April, 1718) it was settled through Qutb-ul-mulk that the Jat 
leader should pay fifty lakhs of rupees in cash and goods, to be liqui¬ 
dated by instalments. Rajah Jai Singh and Maharao Bhim Singh re¬ 
turned to Dihli from Thun on the 29th Jamadi II, (29th May, 1718) 1

July 1715—April 1718. 
With the return to court, on the 11th Jamadi II, 1127 H. (13th June 
1715), of Nizam-ul-mulk, after his supercession by Husain ‘All Khan 
in the government of the Dakhin, the plots against the two brothers 
once more commenced. Nizam-ul-mulk was angry at losing the Dakhin. 
This is betrayed by the fact that when he was on his march to Dihlq 
although Husain ‘Ali Khan passed him at a distance of only a few 
miles, he failed to visit the latter. According to the customs of the 
country this was most disrespectful, Husain ‘Ali Khan being his 
superior in rank. At court Nizam-ul-mulk, who had been trained in 
the school of ‘Alamgir, found it difficult to remain on good terms with 
the men in Farrukhsivars confidence, and when in Jamadi I, 1129 H. 
(April 1717), he was mad e> faujdar of the Muradabad chaklcih, he elected 
to proceed there in person, instead of appointing a deputy. 2 
During these two years (1715-17) the Emperor started on many 
hunting expeditions, of which the principal object was supposed to be 
the finding an opportunity to make away with ‘Abdullah Khan. 
Farrukhsivar was absent from Dihli for a month, from the 21st Rajab 
to the 25th Sha’ban 1127 H. (22nd July—25th August 1715), being then 
forced to return by illness. 3 It was during this expedition that the 
secret orders already spoken of were issued to Daud Khan to resist 
Husain ‘Ali Khan, Nizam-ul-mulk having been taken into council for 
this purpose. ‘Abdullah Khan, during the interval, enlisted fresh troops 
and prepared to defend himself. Since, after waiting a month, no
