v2.c13.s5.31

After they had exchanged some conciliatory words in public, they sat apart and consulted. The terms offered were the Government of Oudh with all the divisions (*sarkars*) dependent thereon, and the right to appoint all the military and civil subordinate officers (*i.e.*, the *faujdars* and *diwans*), Mir Mushrif, the former governor, and the other officials being removed. To these appointments was added a gift of thirty lakhs of Rupees, payable from the Bengal treasure remittance, to replace the expenditure on his army and the defence of the fort, together with a jewelled turban ornament, a special dress of honour and an elephant from the Emperor. This conference took place upon the 25th Jamada II. 1132 H. (3rd May 1720). [Siwanih 19, K. K. 846, Shiu 35a.]
