v2.c15.s5.6
About the end of 1726 Muhammad Khan was directed to restore order in the Bundelkhand portion of his province. A money allowance of 2 lakhs of Rupees a month was granted to him; this was afterwards commuted into a grant of chakla Kora. On the 3rd Feb. 1727 his vanguard crossed the Jamuna somewhere not far from Allahabad. By the first operations the eastern part of Bundelkhand was cleared, with the exception of Tarahwan. Leaving his eldest son, Qaim Khan, to prosecute the siege of that place, Muhammad Khan moved on to within four kos of Sahenda. Parganas Bhend, Mauda, Pailani, Agwasi and Simanni* came into his possession: and on the 22nd Dec. 1727 Tarahwan fell to an assault delivered by Qaim Khan.
