After showing every hospitality and respect, the English intimated to the Nawab that they would not take the country which formerly belonged to him. Shuja'u-d daula surrendered both the boys whom he had kept with such care to Lord Clive. The Governor-General sent them to England, and after this it was proposed to the Nawab, that at all times the English army would be ready to assist him, and so it would be kept at his disposal wherever he chose to place it; he should therefore make a provision for their pay from the revenue of his territory. Thus it was agreed that the Nawab should take ten anas in the rupee, and should give up six anas on account of the army. This being done, the English recommended Shah 'Alam to him, saying that he had separated himself from the Nawab, and had taken their side only with a view to his own interest, and that the Nawab ought to assist him by making some provision for his maintenance. The districts of Allahabad, Kora, and Karra, might be made over to him. At this time Shuja'u-d daula was a mere cipher. Whatever he received he considered as the gift of God, and was satisfied. - [Previous: 1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh-2-2~en-elliot.1.2) - [Next: 1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh-2-2~en-elliot.1.4) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh-2-2~en-elliot.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh-2-2~en-elliot.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh-2-2~en-elliot.1.3) · Pramāṇa
