v1.c9.s15.9

∗ Or as some say, they were informed by a message from Farrukh-siyar's mother, who considered herself bound by the promises made to the Sayyids at Patna. (Khafi Khan ii. 740). One authority (Ahwal-ul-khawaqin, 77b) makes Lutfullah Khan Sadiq the informant. He is described as "unrivalled in deceit, professing devotion to the sovereign, and yet as thick as could be with the Sayyids." He sent word to the latter privately that he had been present one night in Farrukh-siyar's audience-chamber, when, at the instigation of Mir Jumla and Khan Dauran, the Emperor had spoken harshly of them. There was no time for writing at length; one word was as good as a volume. Let them refrain from attending Court; or if they did attend, let them be very cautious.
