| Additional information |
Muhammad Shah's reign opened in chaos — he took the throne at seventeen following the assassination of his predecessor Farrukhsiyar, placed there by the Sayyid brothers who expected a puppet. He eventually outmaneuvered and destroyed them, but the empire he inherited was already fragmenting at its edges. The epithet "Khujista Bunyad" (auspicious foundation) attached to his regnal titles carries a bitter irony: his reign culminated in Nader Shah's 1739 sack of Delhi, during which the Persian conqueror stripped the treasury of an estimated 700 million rupees and carried off the Peacock Throne.
