On 23 November Muhammad Shāh entered his capital in triumph and received provincial governors from the Punjab, Oudh and Rājā Jay Singh of Amber. Nizām-ul-Mulk and the lieutenant-governor of Orissa, who could not reach Delhi so soon, sent expressions of their loyalty, congratulations on the emperor’s victory, and contributions to his treasury. A proclamation at the beginning of the reign had decreed the levy of the *jizya* and the levy was now confirmed but was suddenly abandoned at the instance of Jay Singh of Amber and Girdhar Bahādur, whom it was not politic to offend.
