After his master's death, he attached himself to Ata-ollah-qhan, whom he served as his Divan, and from whom he parted at Banaress, where he remained. From thence he was invited over by several civil letters which Aaly-verdy-qhan wrote him, as an acknowledgment for his having conveyed to him certain important information relative to the finances. Being arrived, he was received with distinction, honoured with a rich Qhylaat in investiture of the Divanship of all Bengal, and at once put in possession of that office, where he thought proper to continue Omid-ray, as his deputy. Kyret-chund being son to a Minister who had long been at the head of all the accounts of Bengal, and was therefore furnished with many important papers, soon found means to prove undeniable balances against several Zemindars, and some other persons of high rank, but chiefly against Djagat-seat and the Radja of Bardcvan. These were all confessed; and the whole, amounting to one coror and some lacs, was paid into Aaly-verdy-qhan's treasury, to the discoverer's great credit, and to his master's great satisfaction, who henceforward reposed an unbounded confidence in him.
