The terms were that the Rajah should give one of his daughters in marriage to the Emperor, in the mode which they styled Dola,† that the Rajah's son, Abhai Singh, should accompany Husain Ali Khan to Court, and that the Rajah in person should attend when summoned.‡ Zafar Khan (Roshan-ud-daulah) arrived at Court on the 5th Jamadi I. 1126 H. (18th May, 1714), with the news. Husain Ali Khan sent the greater part of his army back to Dihli, and remained for two months in Ajmer, restoring the country to order. On the 26th Jamadi II. 1126 H. (8th June, 1714), it had been reported that he was at Puhkar, west of Ajmer, on his way back from Mairtha. On the return march, owing to the great heat, they moved at night and halted in the day. On the 2nd Rajab (13th July, 1714), he arrived at Sarai Allahwirdi Khan. On the 5th he was presented to the Emperor, being received with great outward cordiality, and the commanders who had served under him were richly rewarded. Zafar Khan was honoured with the special title of Fidwi-i-farmanbardar, "the loyal and order-obeying servant." Kunwar Abhai Singh's audience took place three days afterwards (19th July, 1714), with all fitting ceremony.§
