v1.c9.s22.11

On the 19th Safar 1130 H. (19th January, 1718), Muhammad Murad became darogha of the harkaras or scouts, with the privilege of admission at all times to the privy audience-chamber, the chapel and secret audience room. Having now private access to the sovereign's ear, he repeated plainly, with details, what he had formerly suggested by hints and signs. He produced many projects for the overthrow of the two Sayyids and offered himself to carry them into execution. Since Farrukh-siyar looked with apprehension upon everything, Muhammad Murad boldly counselled him to take heart and not to be afraid. "Such fears," he said, "amount to a defect: you are Emperor: no one has the strength to oppose you: you should free your heart of dread, and issue whatever orders you may please." [Kamwar 175, M. M. 337.]
