v1.c6.s23.2

On the 15th February, 1711 the camp was at Bhadoli, and here it was reported that Munim Khan, the chief minister, was suffering from some affection in the face, of the nature of gangrene, which had attacked his eye and ear. A halt was accordingly made, and after thirteen days, Munim Khan expired (28 Feb. 1711).* His age was a few months over sixty years. His body was sent to Dihli to be buried near the Qutb; and Bahadur Shah, who was in great sorrow at the loss of his chief adviser, conferred on his sons and family the whole of the deceased's property, which the official valuers reported to be worth three krors of Rupees (about 3 millions of pounds sterling). The Emperor's private physician, Mutamad-ul-mulk, was sent to the survivors with consolatory messages, followed by one hundred trays of food from the royal kitchen.
