The Riyazu-s-salatin (Abdus Salam) 95 - **Language:** English ### [95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.95) When news of Mukkram Khan being drowned reached the Emperor in the 22nd year of the Emperor's accession corresponding to 1036 A.H., Nawab Fidai Khan was appointed Viceroy of the Subah of Bengal. Since at that period, besides rare silkstuffs of this country, and elephants and aloes-wood and ambergris and other presents and gifts, no specie used to be presented to the Emperor, at this time, contrary to the former practice, it was settled that every year five lacs of rupees as present to the Emperor and five lacs of rupees as present to Nur Jahan Begam — in all ten lacs of rupees should be remitted to the Imperial Exchequer. When on the 27th of the month of Safar 1037 A.H., Emperor Nuruddin Muhammad Jahangir, whilst returning from Kashmir, died at Rajor, his son Abul Muzzafar Shahabuddin Shah Jahan (who was then in the Dakhin) marched out, and through the noble exertions of Asaf Jah Asaf Khan (after destroying and extirpating his brothers) ascended the Imperial throne at Delhi. Then the Subah of Bengal was transferred from Fidai Khan to Qasim Khan. - [Previous: 94](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.94) - [Next: 96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.96) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.95) · Pramāṇa
