The faujdarship of Muradabad was given to Saif-ud-din ‘All Khan, 
younger brother of the wazir; Muhammad Riza became chief qcip) 
Mir Khan, ‘Alamglri, was made §adr—u$ sudur or Grand Almoner, 
Diyanat Khan, Khwafi (grandson of Amanat Khan) 1 was appointed 
Dlwdn of the Khalisah , and Rajah Bakht Mall made diwan of the Tan. 
Himmat Khan, a protege of Qutb-ul-mulk’s, was given a subordinate 
post connected with the audience-chamber, and entrusted with the care 
of the young Emperor as his tutor and guardian. 
The next task was to proceed against the persons and property of 
Farrukhsiyar’s chief adherents. 1‘tiqad Khan (Mhd. Murad) was sent 
as a prisoner to Husain ‘All Khan’s house, his jagtrs were resumed, and 
all his property confiscated. He had managed to make away with a 
great deal, but much was recovered. By one account, it took ten to 
fifteen days to remove the immense store of valuables that he had ob¬ 
tained through the unwise liberality of Farrukhsiyar. I’tiqad Khan 
now disappears from our story, and ending his days in obscurity, he 
died at Dehli on the 12th Ramazan 1139 H. (2nd May, 1727) at the 
age of seventy-two years. Th ejagzrs of the late Sadat Khan, father-in- 
law, and of Shaistah Khan, maternal uncle of the late Emperor, were 
resumed; as were also those of Sayyad Salabat Khan, late general of 
the artillery, and of Afzal Khan, the late §adr. The allowances and 
lands of Farrukhsiyar’s wife, the daughter of Maharajah Ajit Singh 
were not interfered with. 2 
A few days after the accession of the new sovereign, the Mahrattas 
under Bala Ji, the peshwd , who had come in Husain ‘All Khan’s train, 
received their dismissal for the Dakhin (29th Rabi‘ II, 1131 H., 30th 
March, 1719), taking with them Madan Singh, the younger son of Sam- 
bha Ji and some female members of his family who had been prisoners 
since the days of ‘Alamgir. The Mahrattas also took with them at this 
time three important documents, a grant of the chanth of the Dakhin 
provinces, one for the sardeshmuhhi of the same, and one for the swnraj 
or hereditary states. 3 * * * * 8 The first dated the 22nd Rabi‘ II, 1131 H. (13th
