On the fourth day, with a sense of perfect security entering the Citadel, he seated himself with extended thighs on the masnad of the Nizamat of Bengal, and confiscated without any trouble Sarfaraz Khan's treasures which the past Nazims with considerable self-denial had hoarded. In that Nawab Mahabat Jang avoided the company of strange women, and did not care for this sort of pleasure, during his life he had only one wedded wife, and in fact, he often plumed himself on this circumstance. Haji Ahmad and his sons and relations possessed themselves of Sarfaraz Khan's fifteen hundred pretty female dependants and slaves. Mahabat Jang banished to Jahangirnagar (Dacca) the wedded Begams of Sarfaraz Khan with their children, and fixed small allowances for them from the income of the Khas Ta'luqah. And Nafisah Begam, Sarfaraz Khan's sister, who had adopted as her child Aqa Baba Kuchak who was her nephew, entered service as a governess in the Seraglio of Nawazish Ahmad Khan, the eldest son of Haji Ahmad, and in this way supported her nephew. - [Previous: 110.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.110.3.4) - [Next: 111.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.1.2) - [Up: 111.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.1.1) · Pramāṇa
