v2.c14.s4.10

In answer to this tardy submission the Emperor's farman, after a vague compliment to his loyalty and an equally vague excuse for having taken away the two provinces, proceeded to state that the Government of Ajmer was for the time being again confided to him; and, please God, the province of Ahmadabad would also in a short time be restored to him. Presents were forwarded, consisting of special robes, a jewelled turban ornament, a horse and an elephant. The rescript concluded:—"What fear can there be that any single person's petitions or representations would be accepted in respect of his (Ajit Singh's) acts? Let his mind be at rest, recognizing that this well-wisher to God's people (i.e., Muhammad Shah) is occupied with his welfare." [Shiu Das 84b, Kamwar 255.]
