What was constantly affirmed is, that he had a bubo (khiyarak) which suppurated. Ointment was applied to it, but so far from healing, the wound grew worse from day to day. He lived for a month and thirteen days at Faizabad, during which time, that form which had been noted for its stalwart proportions grew thin and slender as a thread; and his arms looked like reed pens in his sleeves. He died on the night of the 14th Zi-l ka'da, 1188 A.H. (1775 A.D.).\] --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.hindustan.imad-al-saadat~en-elliot](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.hindustan.imad-al-saadat~en-elliot) · Pramāṇa
