On 19th February Sawāī Pratāp Singh was introduced to the Emperor by Najaf Khan. He presented a peshkash of two lakhs, and his tribute was settled by mutual agreement at 20 lakhs. The Emperor with his own finger put the tikā or paint-mark of Rajahship on his forehead, and then sent him back with many robes of honour and gifts ; all his territory, including Narnaul, was restored to him. Najaf Khan undertook to collect his tribute, and leaving Himmat Bahadur as his agent for the purpose, he set out in the royal train (26 February) for the return to Delhi, which was entered on 21st April.
