v3.c28.53

The wretched king, thus deserted by the Foreigners and by the respectable portion of the Deccani party, was thrown into the arms of the late minister’s betrayers and compelled to accede to their demands. Malik Hasan became lieutenant of the kingdom and was henceforth known as Malik Nāib, his son Ahmad received his father’s title of Nizām-ul-Mulk and the province of Daulatābād, vacated by Yūsuf, who had decided to take possession of Mahmūd Gāvān’s fiefs of Belgaum and Bījāpur, and Qivām-ul-Mulk the elder and Qivām-ul-Mulk the younger, two Turks who, from selfish motives, had attached themselves to Malik Nāib’s faction, were appointed to Warangal and Rajamundry.
