18.1
Two krors of rupees and three hundred elephants were sent to His Majesty by Shuja'u-d daula, governor of the province of Bengal. After Nadir Shah had gone away, Amir Khan was raised to the rank of 7000 and the office of third bakhshi, and Is'hak Khan to the diwani of the khalisa. They were also received into the favour of the Emperor, on which account Nizamu-l Mulk, again having recourse to his fox-like habits, and being displeased, left Dehli. He spent some days at the village of Tilpat, and at last, with the advice of Mihr-parwar, the grandmother of the Emperor, and on condition that Amir Khan should come out to meet him, returned to the city. Amir Khan son of Amir Khan senior, one of the chief nobles, was appointed Governor of the province of Allahabad, where he applied himself to the work of administration.
