Muntakhabu-l Lubáb, of Kháfí Khán (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 148 - **Language:** English ### [148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.148) \[Text, vol. ii. p. 681.\] Intelligence now arrived of the death of Ghaziu-d din Khan Bahadur Firoz Jang, Subadar of Ahmaddbad, in Gujarat. It was also reported that Amanat Khan, mutasaddi of the port of Surat, on hearing of his death, and that he, in prospect of death, had ordered his troops and officers to be paid and discharged, hastened to Ahmadabad, and took charge of the treasure and stores. Ghaziu-d din Khan was a man born to victory, and a disciplinarian who always prevailed over his enemy. A nobleman of such rank and power, and yet so gentle and pleasant spoken, has rarely been seen or heard of among the men of Turan. It is said that the Government officials took nearly nine lacs of rupees out of his treasury. \* \* - [Previous: 147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.147) - [Next: 149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.149) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.148) · Pramāṇa
