v1.c8.s19.8
∗ M. Mhd., 156; Warid, 143b; Kamwar Khan, 128; Ijad, 110a. Mhd. Qasim Aurangabadi, Ahwal-ul-khawaqin, 58, has different details. According to him Jahandar Shah put up at a way-side cook-shop, where he wrote a note, and by urgent entreaty prevailed on the man to get it into Asaf-ud-daulah’s hands, and if Fate were propitious he would reward him with a mansab and money. One Muhsin, a servant of Asaf-ud-daulah’s, was a customer of the cook-shopman. This servant took the note and gave it to his superior, the Nawab’s nazir, and from him it passed to the Nawab. On getting the note, Asaf-ud-daulah sent men to seize Jahandar Shah.
