He had a separate army of his own, with efficient artillery, and many European artillerymen, besides the soldiers in the service of the King of Gulkhandah. This was the reason that many at the court became envious of him, and these men succeeded in making the king disgrace him. Already the king had become somewhat suspicious of him, and had thought of dispossessing him gently, so as to obtain possession of his riches. But, above all, he felt resentment at the report they made to him that Mir Jumlah had been too familiar with his best-loved and most beautiful queen.

Mir Jumlah was informed of the king's intentions by the said queen, and by his son Mahamedemi Can (Muhammad Amin Khan) and other relations, who held the principal offices at the court.
