MULK AMAN.
When Mulk 'Aman remembered his country, Yasin, he fell home-sick in Chitral and
begged Aman-ul-mulk to let him go and, if Aman-ul-mulk would assist him, he would fight
the Sikhs or else die as a martyr, Aman-ul-mulk said that Mulk Aman could only do the latter,
as he had no army left. " I advise you, he added, to go to Dareyl and ask the Maharajah's for-
giveness, who may give you some appointment. Serve hina, he said, as Isa Bahadur has done
and you may be restored to the throne of your ancestors." Aman-ul-mulk said this in
order to get rid of the importunities of Mulk-Aman, who left for Samegial. Baghdur Shah
and Kuweti, the Maharajah's agents, happened to be there and actually offered to intercede
with the Maharajah on his behalf and to get him an appointment. Mulk Aman was delighted.
The agents spoke in his favour to the Maharajah who cheerfully ordered him to present
himself. They came to Samegial and brought Mulk Aman to Jammu. His Highness
bestowed a dress of honor, a horse and Us. 200 on him and a monthly salary of Ks. 100
for himself, Rs. 30 for his son and Rs. 50 for the rest of his family and requested him
to live at Gilgit outside the fort. " Remain there for 7 years; afterwards I will give
you Yasin." This Mulk Aman did and built a house about 100 yards from the fort. He
did not, however, for two years send for his family from Samegial where he had left them
when he started for Jammu. When they came he continued serving Kashmir for four years
more. Isa Bahadur, however, happened to tell Zoraweru last year (for Isa was the arch-enemy
of Mulk Aman and feared his getting back to Yasin) that Mulk Aman intended to escape
with his family to Chitral, after which, as he had plotted with the Gilgitis, there would be
a general revolt which would end in his sharing the Government of Yasin with
Pahlivan. When Zoraweru heard this he consulted with Isa Bahadur, who advised him
to seize Mulk Arnan and send him and his family to Jammu at once, so as not to give him
time to rouse the country. This pleased the Governor and a suitable hour was left to
Isa's discretion for surrounding the house and bringing Mulk Aman and his family
before Zoraweru, Isa Bahadur at once went and selected 400 young men whom he ordered
baud; thence he went to Damtirey, Bilkai, Eanulia and Jajial; there he crossed the river to Kui;
thence to Palus, Gagrey Khware (or in Gilgiti, Gabrega), Shogobind (a place for pasture)
