v2.c16.s4.6

Returning to his house Abdul-ghaffur continued to curse and swear. But of what avail was his empty talk! An account was now drawn up requiring from him 3 krors of Rupees. A chela was sent to obtain the money or to bring the Shah in a prisoner. Abdul-ghaffur’s only answer was abuse and the question “Does the palace still stand?” He was arrested and put in prison in the palace. In spite of what was got rid of, cash to the amount of one kror of Rupees was seized besides property and buildings. His principal servants were imprisoned until they gave up their hoards—his chief man Dakhni Rai paid one lakh, his head clerk Kunwar Sen, and Sampat Rai (Dakhni Rai’s brother and the brother-in-law of the historian Khush-hal Chand), the Shah’s deputy in the Horse Market, and other employés paid varying sums according to their standing. [Khush-hal 1059b-1061b.]
