He became a kind of saint, or _apostle_, at Lucknow; and Fakeer Mahomed Khan Rusaldar, who commanded a corps of Cavalry, and had much influence over the minister, Aga Meer, became one of his _disciples_, and prevailed upon the minister to entertain him as a mosahib, or aide-de-camp.

He soon became a favourite with Aga Meer, and formed a liaison with a dancing-girl, named Beeba Jan.

His conduct towards her soon became too violent and overbearing, and she sought shelter with the Khasmahal, or chief consort, of the minister, who promised her protection, and detained her in her apartments.

Eesa Meean appealed to the minister, and demanded her surrender.

The minister told him that she was mistress of her own actions, as she had never gone through the ceremonies of permanent marriage, or _nikkah_, nor even those of a temporary one, _motah_; and most be considered as altogether free to choose her own lovers or mode of life.
He then appealed to Moulavee Karamut Allee, the tutor of Aga Meer's children, but was told, that he could not interfere, as the female was a mere acquaintance of his, and bound to him by no legal ties whatever; and must, therefore, be considered as free to reside where and with whom she chose.
