v1.c9.s9.3
He was with Prince Azim-ush-shan at Lahor, and as we have already stated, was making his way eastwards to Farrukh-siyar when he met and joined that Prince at Agra. He had secured himself a very favourable reception by his successful negotiations with the Turani leaders in Jahandar Shah's army. From this time his name will recur frequently in our narrative. His titles were first Shariyat-ullah Khan, then Ibadullah Khan, Bahadur, Muzaffar Jang, and finally Mutamid-ul-mulk, Muazzam Khan, Khan Khanan, Bahadur, Muzaffar Jang, Mir Jumla, Tarkhani, Sultani. He is described by one writer as a man who, in spite of his great learning, was blind to the essential meaning of things. [M. U. iii. 711, Ahwal-ul-khawaqin, 61a.]
