But this was only the ostensible letter; a secret but a strong one was at the same time conveyed to him, enjoining him to lay in wait with a strong army at Boorhanpoor, where he was to spare no means to destroy Hossein-aaly-khan and his troops, as in that case, he would himself be appointed Viceroy in his stead, and become a proper object for further favours and distinctions. It was after dispatching these secret instructions, that the Emperor thought of celebrating his nuptials with Adjet-sing's daughter, as we shall soon relate; but as Daöod-khan-peni is going to cut so great a figure in our history, it will not be out of its place to insert here an idea of his person and character, by giving some account of the disturbances and troubles to which his impudence and partiality had given occasion between the Mussulmen and Hindoos of Ahmed-abad, his capital.
