guided the Aqa through the rocky defiles and river-fords, and led him to the country of Tiprah. The Rajah of Tiprah, who was careless and was unaware of the incursion of the Imperial army, was paralysed by this sudden on-rush of the Imperialists, and not having the capacity to fight fled to the summit of the hills. The tract of Tiprah, without any difficulty, fell into the hands of Mir Habib, who by fightings stormed the fort of Chandigadah, which was the residence of the Rajah. Capturing numerous booty, Mir Habib brought the tract of Tiprah within the Imperial domains. After completing the settlement of this tract, Mir Habib appointed Aqa Sadiq as Faujdar of Tiprah, and the Rajah's nephew as the Rajah, whilst he himself returned to Jahangirnagar (Dacca) with treasures, valuables and elephants. Murshid Quli Khan sent to Nawab Shuja'u-d-daulah an account of the conquest of Tiprah, together with the best specimens of the wares and silk-stuffs of that tract. The Nawab named that tract (of Tiprah) Raushanabad, and invested Murshid Quli Khan with the title of 'Bahadur' and conferred on Mir Habib the title of 'Khan.' In short, when the Deputy-Nizamat of the Subah of Odisah (Orissa) was bestowed on Murshid Quli Khan, the latter, on the recommendation of Nawab Shuja'u-d-daulah, was given by the Emperor the title of Rustam-Jang.
