### [v2.c19.s3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.irvine-1922.v2.c19.s3.7)

The Emperor had to surrender all his crown-jewels, including the famous diamond Koh-i-nur and the Peacock Throne of Shah Jahan which had cost 2 krors of Rupees. In the public treasuries were found three krors of Rupees, but in the inner vaults, which had been shut during many reigns, a much larger amount was discovered. \[Hanway, 383.\] Abdul Karim says that the personal property of the Begams of Dihli was not robbed. This statement cannot be accepted, though it is a fact that no torture was applied to these ladies or their servants for their jewels.
