v2.c14.s2.5

Men of both the city and the country had dreaded the day of his accession to supreme power. To their surprise, his conduct was opposed to his previous habits; he treated everybody fairly and kindly. Even some of the Sayyids who had deserved punishment were spared. But as far as Muhammad Shah was concerned, he had obtained no benefit by the change of ministers; and as one writer says, "He found over again the same viands on his plate." [Shiu Das 65b-66a; Kamwar 247; Warid 2-4; K. K. 939; Ahwal 178a.]
