v2.c27.s14.11

∗ Govind Ballal from Tirwa, 10 m. s. of Qanauj, gives (on 29 Aug.) the following intelligence : The day after Shuja's arrival at Anupshahar Abdali offered to give him investiture as wazir, but the former replied, 'Who is the Emperor? Whose wazir am I going to be? You sit on the imperial throne and I shall serve you as wazir. Why are you making me ridiculous by giving me the robes of an office without the functions?' [Raj. i. 236.]
