v1.c9.s29.1

On the 1st Muharram 1131 H. (23rd November, 1718) an official report reached the Court that in the previous month Husain Ali Khan had started from Aurangabad. On the 22nd Muharram (14th December, 1718) he left Burhanpur, and Ujjain on the 4th Safar (26th December, 1718), continuing his route via Mandeshwar.* Before this time he had put forward a pretext that the Dakhin climate did not agree with him, and had asked to be recalled. Farrukh-siyar said he might try a change to Ahmadabad, and if he did not recover, he might then return to Hindustan. About this time Husain Ali Khan also reported that Muin-ud-din,† a reputed son of Prince Akbar, the rebel son of Alamgir, had been captured by Rajah Sahu, the Mahratta, and made over to him, on the condition that he obtained the release of the Rajah's mother and brother, who had been prisoners since the year 1101 H. (15th Muharram 1101 H., 28th October, 1689) and were still at Dihli. Farrukh-siyar ordered the Bakhshi to send the pretended Prince to Dihli.‡
