Note 8 — The Twelfth New Year’s Feast after my auspicious accession.

As for a long time no good had been heard of the affairs of Bengal and of the conduct of Qāsim K͟hān, it entered my mind to send to the Subah of Bengal Ibrāhīm K͟hān Fatḥ-jang, who had carried on successfully the affairs of the Subah of Behar and had brought a diamond mine into the possession of the State, and to despatch Jahāngīr Qulī K͟hān, who had a jagir in the Subah of Allahabad, in his place to Behar. I sent for Qāsim K͟hān to Court. At the same hour on the auspicious day (the day of culmination) an order was given that they should write royal farmans to the effect that sazāwalān (revenue collectors) should be appointed to take Jahāngīr Qulī K͟hān to Behar and to send Ibrāhīm K͟hān Fatḥ-jang to Bengal. Patronizing Sikandar,8 the jeweller, I promoted him to the mansab of 1,000 personal and 300 horse.
