v1.c9.s29.20

∗ From Amin-ud-din's letter to Ikhlas Khan, it would seem that on starting for Malwa, Muhammad Amin Khan had bragged much of the aid he would obtain from the Afghan chief, Dost Muhammad Khan (afterwards of Bhopal). Nothing came of these boasts. But he wrote to Dihli demanding impossible reinforcements in men and artillery and extravagant advances of money. His applications were rejected, and it was assumed at Dihli, as it turned out quite rightly, that he meant to beat a retreat. Probably he also received a summons from Farrukh-siyar to return to Court (see later on Section 33). *Dastur-ul-insha*, p. 53, Khafi Khan, ii. 794-799, 800.
