Tarikh-i Hindi 10: Fourteenth Year of the Reign.

10

Information was received that Muhammad Khan Ghazanfar Jang had crossed the Nerbadda, and joined Nizamu-l Mulk. He was removed from the government of Malwa, and Raja Jai Singh Sawai was appointed in his stead.
In this year Mir Jumla Tarkhan, one of the greatest nobles, and a man of learning and a friend of the learned, who was chiefly engaged in the study of the natural sciences, according to the will of God, departed this transitory world. This Mir Jumla was called Mir 'Ibadu-llah. He came to Hindustan from Samarkand in search of his father, Mir Abu-l Wafa, who had become kazi of Benares. By degrees he himself was appointed kazi of the province of Bengal, and when Prince Muhammad Farrukh Siyar became governor of that province, he made him his tutor. During the time of this Prince's reign he was reckoned one of the greatest nobles of the State, and had the conduct of all political affairs in his hands. At last, through the hostility of the Saiyids, he was deprived, after the murder of Farrukh Siyar, of all the insignia of nobility; but, by the favour of Husain 'Ali Khan, he was again raised to his former rank and Jagir, as well as to the office of Sadru-s sudur. He was a person of exceeding generosity, and gave away lacs of rupees. He was often heard to say, that as regards the works of this world, he had only one desire unfulfilled, which was that he had never been able to give any person a present of one kror of rupees. He loved knowledge and learned men, because by means of his learning he had reached the Emperor's Court, and obtained his rank.
In the same year, at the instigation of Raja Jai Singh, the vile enemy took possession of Malwa, and the Raja himself added to his own territory many parganas which belonged to the Emperor in the vicinity of Amber. Dhankal Singh, Raja of Marwar, sacked the district of Rewari, which is thirty kos from Dehli, and took thirteen lacs of rupees from the authorities of that place. The enemies in all parts of the country stretched out their hands to ravage and plunder.
