“Among the victims were the Emperor’s old and devoted wife Aurangabadi Mahal, Maharajah Jaswant’s son Muhammadi-Raj who had been brought up in the imperial harem and reached the age of 13, Fazil Khan the *Sadar*, and many other grandees. The middle class and poor people, both Hindu and Muhammadan, who died, cannot be counted, but are conjectured to have been not less than a lakh. Many [saved their lives] but had disorder of the brain or loss of sight, speech or hearing. Firuz Jang’s eyes were lost.” (*M.A.* 317-’18.)
