⁶⁹ *T.D.*, 113-114, 143. The *Afsānā-i-Shāhān* relates an incident bearing upon Miān Bhuā’s behaviour. It says that once Sultan Ibrāhīm ordered the Vazīr to pay a few lacs of rupees to the son of Raja Mān. The Vazīr was reluctant to pay and observed that “The monarch accumulates treasure as a matter of policy and spends it on proper objects. It is not desirable that money should be spent without good reason.” At this the Sultan flew into a rage. *Afsānā-i-Shāhān*, 45 (b) cited in Tripathi, *Some Aspects of Muslim Administration*, 192-93 and translated in Hindi in *Uttar Tīmūr Kālīn Bharat*, I, 386-87.
