Fall of the Mughal Empire v3.c38.s8.18

v3.c38.s8.18

After Shafi had been slain, Afrāsiyāb Khan brought back the dead chieftain’s disheartened troops to their camp and made a demonstration of grief with vows of vengeance on the murderer in the presence of Begam Khadija Sultan. Having thus cleared his character, he induced Hamadāni by a secret pact to go back quietly to his jagir of Dholpur-Bāri, paying him some money and confirming him in his possessions as well as his right to the entire tribute payable by Jaipur, and also promising to secure for him the Emperor’s pardon in good time.* [DY. i. 93.]
