¹ [Shāh Ālam did all he could to show his gratitude by conferring on his deliverer honours and titles, among them being the ‘Mahī Marātib’ (the Order of the Fish). (Sleeman’s Rambles, &c., ed. V. A. Smith, 1915, p. 137.) Shāh Ālam was restored to the throne as sovereign of Delhi and the small surrounding district, under the control of a British Resident, who was to pay to the Emperor the net income of that territory besides a monthly stipend of 90,000 rupees. (Keene, Mughal Empire, p. 252.)]
