33.1.4
Fateh-aaly-qhan alias the Governor of Kevol, who received subsequently the surname of Sabut-djung; Mahmed-shudjah-qhan, and Seyd-abdol-aaly-qhan. This last was my uncle, who having been, as we have said in the First Volume, banished from the dominions of Bengal, had come to the capital, where Saadat-qhan had desired him to be his friend, and to accept the command of a body of four hundred horse; for he had brought with him his own horses, elephants, and equipage. Saadat-qhan had with him also, Mir-aaly-asghar-Cobra, of whom we have spoken much in Aaly-verdy-qhan's history; lastly, Mubariz-qhan, with a number of other persons of distinction. He passed the mourning days of the month of Moharrem at Patody, and on the beginning of the year 1163, he arrived at a place called Nimrani, in the Djatt country, where Radja Sorodj-mull had raised a small mud fort, in which he kept a certain number of men. Some of Saadat-qhan's people having picked up a quarrel with those of the fort, drove them away; and it was upon such a mighty success that the new Viceroy ordered his music to play in token of victory; after which getting into his tent, he resolved to halt there.
