18.13.5

But as he was very much smitten with the charms of the title of Mehabet-djung, which had been borne by Aaly-verdy-qhan, he ordered a new seal to be engraven for himself, where he assumed the style and titles of Shudjah-el-mulk, Hyssam-ed-doulah, Mir-djaafer-aaly-qhan-bahadyr, Mehabet-djung; that is, the high and valiant Lord Mir-djaafer-qhan, who is the Valorous of the State, the Sword of the Empire, and the Formidable in War, and the Majestic in Battles. At the same time he bestowed on his son the title of Shahamet-djung, or Valorous in War, which had been borne by the late Nevazish-mahammed-qhan; and that of Haibet-djung on his own brother, Mir-mahmed-cazem-qhan, that being the title that had once been borne by the illustrious Zin-eddin-ahmed-qhan. He likewise sent circular letters of confirmation to all the men in office throughout the three provinces, that had now become his kingdom. But this was only after he had already dispatched Mir-mahmed-cassem-qhan, his son-in-law, with a force to intercept Seradj-ed-doulah. Pressing letters were likewise sent to his brother, Mir-daood, who was at Radj-mahal, with injunctions to spare nothing in laying hold of his person.
