In the 12th year of Shah Jahan's reign, Prince Muhammad Shuj'a arrived in Bengal, and made Akbarnagar or Rajmahal the seat of his Government, and adorned it with grand and handsome edifices. The Prince deputed to Jahangirnagar or Dacca his Deputy and father-in-law, Nawab 'Azam Khan. The affairs of administration which had fallen into confusion by the departure of Islam Khan, received now fresh eclat. For a period of eight years, the Prince devoted himself to the work of administration. In the 20th year of Shah Jahan's reign, the Prince was recalled to the Imperial presence, and Nawab 'Itaqad Khan was appointed to the Nizamat of the Subah of this country.
