∗ At night Gajpat Singh privately told Ahad, "It is difficult to extract money from Desu S. Therefore, as a political device, you arrest all the sardars including myself. Afterwards release us and keep Desu S. under confinement for realising the tribute." Majduddaulah, calling...[five sardars] inside his tent, arrested all of them. Then Tāj Md. Kh. reported that Gajpat and [three] others were agreeable to paying their tributes. Majd set them free, with the exception of Desu S. (Akh. 249 b).
