### [176.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.muntakhab-al-lubab~en-elliot.176.3)

Other letters also informed Saiyid Husain 'Ali that Sarbuland Khan, in consequence of the resumption of his jagir, and the transfer of his prosperous lands to Mir Jumla, and through want of money, inability to pay his soldiers, and pressing demands, had retired from service, resigned his mansab, and had given up his elephants, horses, and household effects to his creditors, with the intention of becoming a religious mendicant. Saiyid 'Abdu-llah Khan, having heard of this, went to him and endeavoured to console him. He furnished him with money, elephants, and horses, and appointed him Subadar of Kabul, thus binding him to him by the obligations of kindness. Nizamu-l Mulk also, through the hard usage of times favourable only to the base, was called from Muradabad, with the expectation of being made wazir, but his office and his jagir were given to I'tikad Khan. He was disgusted and burnt with rage against the worthless (favourite). Saiyid 'Abdu-llah did his best to console him, and promised him the subadari of Malwa. I'timadu-d daula, who had come to Court without leave or order, fell into disgrace, and was deprived of his mansab. Saiyid 'Abdu-llah consoled him also. He likewise won over fortune-seekers by rendering them assistance, and inquiring about their affairs. Khan-dauran, who from the beginning had been reckoned as an associate of Mir Jumla, and one of the Emperor's friends, was also brought over to the side of the minister.
