Padshah-namah 47: Nizamu-l Mulk.

47

[Text, vol. i. part 2, p. 256.] On the 1st Zi-l hijja, 1046 A.H., Prince Murad Bakhsh, Yaminu-d daula Khan-dauran Bahadur Nusrat Jang, and others went forth to meet Prince Aurangzeb, who had returned to Court from the Dakhin. * * He brought with him the member of Nizamu-l Mulk's family whom the disaffected of the Dakhin had made use of for their rebellious purposes, and to whom they had given the title of Nizamu-l Mulk. He was placed under the charge of Saiyid Khan-Jahan, to be kept in the fort of Gwalior, where there were two other of the Nizams—one of whom was made prisoner at the capture of Ahmadnagar in the reign of Jahangir, and the other at the downfall of Daulatabad in the present reign. * * On the 4th, the news came that Khan-zaman had died at Daulatabad from a complication of diseases of long standing. * * Shayista Khan was appointed to succeed him in his command.
