v1.c6.s7.7
When Asad Khan, having been also made in addition to his other offices subahdar of Dihli, took his departure for that city (1st Sept. 1707), he received charge of the Emperor's sister, Zinat-un-nissa Begam, and the women and children of the late Azam Shah's household. Zinat-un-nissa had arrived from Gwaliyar towards the end of Rabi II. 1119 (July 1707), and on the excuse of her mourning for Azam Shah, had declined to send any congratulations to the victor. In spite of his vexation at this slight, Bahadur Shah doubled his sister's allowances and created her Padshah Begam. Suitable allowances were fixed for all those who had been dependent on Azam Shah.
