14.4.8

Mustapha-coly-qhan dying in Azem-shah's life-time, Shah-coly-qhan, to whom that Prince had bestowed the command of the artillery some days before his giving battle to his brother, Bahadyr-shah, was found amongst the slain; and his elder brother, Acbar-coly-qhan, who had been appointed Governor of Baghal-pur, repaired to Bengal, where mindful of the consequences of a change of times, he lived with honor and credit during the whole of Feroh-syur's reign. His son, Mirza-iredj-qhan, attached himself to the Seyds, and in particular to Hossein-aaly-qhan, the youngest of the two, with whom he was united in friendship, as well as with Ghaairet-aaly-qhan, cousin-german to Hossein-aaly-qhan, with whom he always appeared with splendour at Court. On the catastrophe that befell the two Seyds he attached himself to the famous Ser-bulend-qhan, whom he accompanied into Ghadjrat, being in high favour with that General. He parted with him, however, and repaired to Bengal, where Shudjah-qhan, who knew all his family, and had a high esteem from them all, took him near his person, and always shewed him the utmost regard. He was in the battle which Ser-efraz-qhan gave to Aaly-verdy-qhan at Gheriah, where he lost his son, and where he was grievously wounded. After this, he retired to his house at M8rsh8d-abad without ever appearing at Court; but Aaly-verdy-qhan, who knew his merit, sent for him, took him in his service, and constantly shewed himself his friend and patron.
