By this time Farrukh-siyar began to see that Qutb-ul-mulk and Husain Ali Khan had obtained the upper hand of him. All his efforts were now directed to propitiating his enemies. Qutb-ul-mulk was raised on the 6th Safar (28th December) from 7,000 (7,000 horse) to 8,000 (8,000 horse) of which 5,000 were duaspa (two horses each), and he received a gift of 5 krors and 80 lakhs of dam. Itiqad Khan (Muhammad Murad) and Zafar Khan, Turra-i-baz, having acted as negotiators between the Emperor and Qutb-ul-mulk, the supposed happy results were attributed to their exertions. The former was now styled Rukn-ud-daulah, Itiqad Khan, Bahadur, Farrukh-Shahi, with the rank of 7,000 (7,000 horse) of which 4,000 were duaspa. To Zafar Khan's titles were added the words Rustam Jang ; he was given the insignia of the fish dignity, and he was promoted to 6,000. On the following day, 7th Safar (29th December), Husain Ali Khan was promoted to 8,000, (8,000 horse), of which 5,000 were duaspa, and 4 krors and 80 lakhs of dam were granted to him. [M. M. 429.]
