v1.c9.s20.5

‡ Mirza Muhammad, 243. The account in the *Ahwal-ul-khawaqin*, 118b, differs from all others. There we are told that from Faridabad, a distance of 10 *kos* from Dihli, Mir Jumla petitioned for an audience. Angry at Mir Jumla's leaving his post without orders, Farrukh-siyar despatched mace-bearers with orders to conduct the fugitive to the fortress of Gwaliyar, and bring back a receipt from the commandant. Qutb-ul-mulk and others then interceded, the offender was pardoned, but no audience was granted. At length, he was ordered to withdraw to his estates.
