∗ S. K. died 1066 H., 1655-56, see M. U. ii. 441 and T. M. year 1066 H. † In many works there is a curious mistake as to Nizam-ul-mulk's age. He is said to have died in 1161 H., (1748), at the age of one hundred and four years. (Orme, Military Transactions, Madras reprint, i. 122). Grant Duff, History of the Mahrattas, Bombay reprint, 265, repeats the statement, probably copying from Orme. Nizam-ul-mulk's birth year was 1082 H.; and therefore, in 1161 H., when he died, he could have been no more than 79 lunar or 77 solar years of age.
