v1.c9.s9.1

The name of this man, a native of Samarqand in Turan, was Ubaidullah, son of Mir Muhammad Wafa, and he was born about the year 1081 H., 1670-1. Early in life he abandoned his native country and repaired to Hindustan, where he arrived in the reign of Alamgir. He obtained in time the post of Qazi at Jahangirnagar Dacca in subah Bengal, and finally the same office at Azimabad Patna in subah Bihar. He seems to have wormed himself into the confidence of Prince Azim-ush-shan, then governor of Bengal and Bihar, and to have obtained complete control over the mind of his second son, Farrukh-siyar.
