E. — Farrukhsiyar’s wives. 
We hear of only two principal wives—(1) Fakhr-un-nissa Begam, 
daughter of Sadat Khan; (2) the Rathor princess, the daughter of 
Maharajah Ajit Singh, whose Hindu name seems to have been Bae 
Indar Kunwar. 1 The father of the former was one Mir Muhammad 
Taqql, entitled first Hasan Khan and then Sadat Khan, son of Sadat 
Khan. He is called a Husain! by race, and the family came fr<^m the 
Persian province of Mazandaran, on the south shore of the Caspian 
Sea ; it had emigrated to India after having been for a time settled at 
Isfahan. 2 He married a daughter of Ma‘sum Khan, Safawi, and if 
this lady was the mother of Fakhr-un-nissa. this Safawi connection 
would account for the daughter’s selection as a prince’s bride. 3 Sadat 
Khan was wounded on the 9th RabI* II, 1131 H., the day of Farrukh¬ 
siyar’s deposition, and died two or three days afterwards. He was 
over eighty years of age. The following table shows his family :—
