In reply Bahadur Shah explained that the special services performed by Munim Khan justified his appointment as Wazir. That office could not be justly given to any one else. Asad Khan would be named as Wakil-i-mutlaq with the rank of 8,000 (8,000 horsemen, Duaspah), the duties in case of absence to be performed by Zulfiqar Khan as his father's deputy. All the other demands were agreed to, and it was pointed out that Yamin-ud-daulah's higher rank was due to his relationship to the then sovereign and the special services rendered in the contest for the throne. Asad Khan's titles were increased to Nizam-ul-mulk, Asaf-ud-daulah, while his son was raised to 7,000 (7,000 horse), with the titles of Samsam-ud-daulah Amir-ul-umara Bahadur Nusrat Jang, his old office of First Bakhshi being confirmed to him.
