19.19.6
It must be observed that Mir-djaafer-qhan had advanced as far as Radj-mahl to support his son; but that hearing by the way of the prosperous turn of his affairs, he had returned full of joy to his capital, where he availed himself of that accession of authority, which prosperity confers, to get rid of a man whom he had this longwhile in his eye; this was Sadacat-mahmed-qhan, son to Aga-bakyr, Zemindar of Dacca, of which latter we have made some mention, in our account of Nevazish-mahmed-qhan, and of his deputy, Hussein-culi-qhan, who was, properly speaking, Governor of the province of Djehanghir-nugur-dacca. The Navvab who had conceived some unjust suspicions against this Sadacat-mahmed-qhan, had him blown off at a gun; an atrocious action, by which he laid up for himself a store of merits in the next world. Whilst Dilir-qhan lived at Ticary, Cam-car-qhan, Zemindar of Narhut-semai, incensed at the usage he had met with from Mir-djaafer-qhan, who on Ram-narain's persuasion had put him under confinement, resolved to be revenged; and joining his cause to that of Dilir-qhan's, they both wrote to the Shah-zada, to invite him to a junction with them, under assurances of their being ready to join him. The forlorn Prince, who had neither house nor home of his own, wanted no better; and assembling again his friends and soldiers, he quitted Chitur-pûr, and advanced towards Azim-abad.
