The amount was ordered to be entered as a loan to him. (\*Masir-i-Alamgiri\*, 170.) Again, in 1683 the \*diwan\* reported that the Emperor had ordered 52 \*lakhs\* of Rupees spent in the Assam expedition to be recovered from Shaista Khan, but that nobleman had replied that only 7 \*lakhs\* had been so spent and that the rest of the amount was an advance for Bengal. The Emperor then modified his order, by demanding the refund of 7 \*lakhs\* only.
