The King saw and fell in love with her; and she forthwith became one of his wives, under the name of "Sultan Mahal." In November, 1846, the King invested eighteen lacs and thirty thousand rupees in Government notes as a provision for his wives and other female relations.

The notes were to be made out in their names respectively; and the interest was to be paid to them and their heirs.

Of this sum, Sultan Mahal was to have one hundred thousand; and, on the 21st of November, she drew the interest, in anticipation, up to the 30th of December of that year.
The five notes for twenty thousand each, in her name, were received in the Resident's Treasury on the 20th of April, 1847.

On the 28th of August, she sent an application for the Notes to the Resident, but died the next day.

The King, her husband, had died on the 18th February, 1847.
Nine days after, on the 6th of September, the new King, Wajid Allee Shah, sent an application to have these five notes transferred to one of his own wives; urging, that, as his father and the Sultan Mahal had both died, he alone ought to be considered as the heir.
