Muhammad Shah was a great patron of the arts, including musical, cultural and administrative developments, his pen-name was Sada Rangila ("ever joyous").While being a patron of the arts, his reign was marked by great decline. The Mughals had already been showing decline for years, but the invasion by Nader Shah of Persia and the subsequent sack and looting of the Mughal capital would greatly accelerate the pace at which it was going. The whole events did not only shock and notify that to the Mughals themselves, but also to more foreign invaders, including the British.
