Tarikh-i Muzaffari 3.2

3.2

When the intelligence of his father's death arrived, he communicated the fact to Safdar Jang before it was generally known, and from that day the minister called him his adopted son. By the minister's influence, he was appointed Mir Bakhshi, and received the title of Amiru-l umara Ghaziu-d din Khan 'Imadu-l Mulk. * * After the murder of Jawid Bahadur, the Emperor (Ahmad Shah) felt great aversion for Safdar Jang, and extended his favour to Intizamu-d daula, who, in consequence of the regulations established by Safdar Jang inside and outside of the palace, had ceased for some time to go to the darbar. One day the Emperor observed that Safdar Jang held the great offices of dnvdn-i kull and wazir, and that the post of superintendent of the ghusl-khdna, and of the royal arsenal, with other less offices, might be left for others. From that day great apprehension filled the mind of Safdar Jang, and he set himself either to win over Intizamu-d daula or to remove him out of the way.
