v1.c8.s1.2

The usual re-distribution of the great offices of the State followed the coronation. Asad Khan remained, as during the reign of Bahadur Shah, *Wakil-i-mutlaq* or Vice-gerent. His son, Zulfiqar Khan, Nusrat Jang, became chief minister, with the rank of 8,000 *zat* and a gift of a large sum of money. Ali Murad Kokaltash Khan, who had been long in Jahandar Shah's service, was given the title of Khan Jahan, and appointed to be first *Bakhshi*. The office of *diwan* of the *Tan*, or assigned land revenue, was conferred on Ikhlas Khan in addition to his former office of *darogha* of the *arz mukarrar*; while Sabha Chand, secretary to Zulfiqar Khan was made a Rajah and entrusted with the post of *diwan* of the public revenues or *Khalsa-i-sharifa*. Hidayatullah Khan (known as Wazarat Khan in the last year of Bahadur Shah) was created Sadullah Khan and made *Khan-saman* or Lord High Steward. Sayyid Raji Muhammad Khan, a Gardezi of Manikpur, subah Allahabad, who had acquired great credit by blowing up Jahan Shah's powder magazines, became *Mir Atash*, or commander of artillery. Khwaja Husain, who had married the sister of Kokaltash Khan's wife, was made Khan Dauran, and 2nd *Bakhshi*; while Muhammad Mah Zafar Khan, brother of the said Kokaltash Khan, became Azam Khan with the governorship of Agra. Lutfullah Khan Sadiq Panipati, who had been one of Jahan Shah's chief advisers, but early deserted him and obtained pardon by a large bribe (said to have been thirty lakhs of Rupees), was now made diwan to the new Emperor's eldest son, Azz-ud-din. Inayatullah Khan Kashmiri was sent off to the subah of Kashmir, which he already held, and Zabardast Khan (with the new title of Ali Mardan Khan) was appointed to Lahor.*
