v1.c9.s38.6

It is believed that, although a needle had been passed through his eyes, Farrukh-siyar was still able to see. In spite of all that had happened, he was still eager for power and believed his restoration possible. He made repeated overtures to the Sayyids, promising to leave all power in their hands, if they would only release him and replace him on the throne. Then he tried to win over Abdullah Khan Afghan, one of his jailors. He promised this man the rank of Haft-hazari (7,000)
