"He "reminded Mir-djaafer-qhan of the activity he had exhibited in serving him with his person, in his disputes with Seradj-ed-doula (although in reality it was he that had escaped by taking shelter under Mir-djaafer-qhan's protection, as Seradj-ed-doulah had got information of his cabals, and wanted to punish him according to his deserts), he represented, I say, to his friend, that now that fortune had bestowed upon him so much power, and such extensive dominions, he hoped he would allow him to better his fortune in that little corner of Púrania, a favour which after all would not be bestowed on a stranger." This representation being made at a time when Mir-djaafer-qhan had set out on purpose to chastise the revolted of Púrania, and to quiet the troubles of that province, could not fail of being listened to, especially as Qhadum-hassen-qhan, who was master of much ready money, and had furnished himself with a nobleman's equipage, had offered to quell the troubles of that province, at his own charge and peril, provided he had the government of it, and was assisted with a small force.
