restored until tlie 21st Jamadi, II, 1128 H., (11th June, 1716), on the in¬ 
tercession of Qutb-ul-mulk, who at the same time obtained for him a 
jagir of three lakhs of rupees. The Mughals sought service where they 
could. Their principal officer, Bahadur Dil Khan, was for a time with 
Qutb-ul-mulk, but not succeeding to his wishes, he transferred himself 
to Khan Dauran. In that service he stopped for a long time, without 
having any influence; he was then ordered to join Husain ‘All Khan in 
the Dakhin. 1 
Section 23.— Continuation of the Plots. 
As soon as the disturbance raised by Mir Jumlah’s return had 
been allayed, another hunting expedition was planned. At once the 
word passed from house to house and from tent to tent, that during 
the journey the arrest of Qutb-ul-mulk would be arranged. Farrukh- 
slyar moved to the Shalihmar garden at Agharabad 2 on the 6th Rabi‘ II, 
1128 H. (29th March, 1716), and thence on the 10th, six kos further on, to 
Siuli. He returned to Agharabad on the 26th. and it was here that 
the fight took place on the 29th (21st April, 1716) between the retainers 
of Samsam-ud-daulah and Muhammad Amin Khan, as already related. 
Farrukhsiyar returned to the palace on the 11th Jamadi IT, (1st June, 
1716). An urgent messenger had been sent on the 7 th Rabi‘ II (20th 
March) to bring Rajah Jai Singh, Sawae, from Malwah, and on the 
14th Jamadi II (4th June) the Rajah was reported to be at Sarae 
Allahwirdi Khan ; he was received in audience two days afterwards, 
Samsam-ud-daulah conducting him from his camp near the ‘ Idgah. 3 
Shortly afterwards Rao Rajah Budh Singh, Hadah, of Bundi, arrived. 
He had been expelled by Maharajah Bhim Singh, Hadah, of Kotah. 
Jai Singh introduced the fugitive to the Emperor and obtained for him 
promises of succour. Everyday Rajah Jai Singh seemed to rise iu 
Farrukhsiyar’s estimation. Finally, on the 9th Shawwal (25th Sep¬ 
tember, 1716), he was entrusted with the crushing of Curaman, Jat, 
under the circumstances and with the results already recorded. 41 
Again the Emperor quitted Dihli on the 24th Muharram 1129 H. 
(7th January, 1717), camping first at Masjid Mochiyah. On the 17th
