At this time the súbaddár or governor of Alláhábád was the Nawáb Amir Khán 'Umdatu-l Mulk, pillar of the State, and this appointment of governor was not pleasing to him, nor was it according to the Emperor's commands; but to please Nawáb Kamru-d dín Khán Wazír-i 'azam or prime minister, and Nawáb Asaf Jáh Bahádur, he had on this pretence sent him a long way from the Court. For Amír Khán was a wise and intelligent man, and was every day setting the Emperor against the Nawáb Kamru-d dín Khán and the Mughal and Túrán nobles. By the force of his observations, and excellent judgment of character, he was gaining his object; so they banished him from Court on pretence of giving him the súbaddárship of Alláhábád, which had been settled upon him for some time.
