A dispute arose in the Emperor's audience chamber between Muzaffar Khan and Burhanu-l Mulk, because the latter officer, in the province of Oudh, had taken possession of the jagirs of mansabdars. It continued many days, and at last Mir Jumla Yar Khan was appointed by the Emperor of the World to decide it. He was of opinion that Burhanu-l Mulk should resign the governorship of Oudh, and Muzaffar Khan the office of superintendent of the ordnance. The former situation, in consequence of the removal of Burhanu-l Mulk, was given to Muzaffar Khan, and Burhanu-l Mulk was to be appointed governor of Malwa. This decision was approved and confirmed, and the office of the superintendent of ordnance, which was vacated by Muzaffar Khan, was entrusted to Sa'du-d din Khan, in whose place, Sher Afghan Khan was appointed steward of the household. Muzaffar Khan, with the intention of going to the province of Oudh, pitched his tents near Patparganj, and Burhanu-l Mulk marched towards Malwa; but when the latter reached Agra, he at once crossed the river Jumna, and went towards Oudh. Muzaffar Jang was consequently obliged to proceed to Ajmir, as the government of that province included Narnaul and Sambhar.
