29.1.7
On this day Sar-buland Ray came from the Deccan and waited on me, and was honoured with a special jewelled dagger, with a phul katara. ‘Abdu-l-‘Aziz K. and some of those who had gone with Lahiatu-llah released themselves from the hand of Bi-daulat, and paid their respects, and represented that when La‘natu-llah charged, they thought it was for a cavalry encounter. When they found themselves in the midst of the rebels they saw nothing for it but to submit and pay their respects, but now they had found an opportunity and had obtained the good fortune of kissing the threshold. Though they had taken 2,000 muhrs from Bi-daulat for their expenses, as the times were critical I made no inquiry, but accepted their statement.
