Farrukh-siyar's thoughts next turned to a reconciliation between Rajah Jai Singh Sawai, and Qutb-ul-mulk. Jai Singh was displeased at the part which Qutb-ul-mulk had played in the matter of Churaman Jat. As the Rajah had taken Farrukh-siyar's side throughout, the latter was very anxious to favour him, but Qutb-ul-mulk's position having proved so strong, he was afraid to do anything without a reconciliation. Therefore, on the 18th Safar (9th January, 1719), he sent Zafar Khan to the Rajah's house, and at this messenger's suggestion the Rajah accompanied him on a visit to Qutb-ul-mulk. The Nawab received him most affably, and gave him a dagger and other things by way of present. A return visit was paid on the 24th, followed on the 25th (15th and 16th January, 1719) by a visit to the Rajah from Farrukh-siyar himself, to whom valuable offerings were made both in cash and other things. The Rajah had also filled a reservoir (hauz) with rose-water and saffron, had adorned the trees with imported fruit, and in all ways strove to do honour to the occasion. His titles were increased to Raj-indar, Rajadhiraj. [Kamwar 187, M. M. 431.]
