Although Shuj'a made exertions to stop the panic and prevent the flight, these were in vain. Hence the adage is " Shuj'a lost a winning game." The army of Aurangzeb collecting together, made an onslaught. When Shah Shuj'a found that he had lost the game, he was obliged to take to flight, and fled to Bengal, and fortifying the passes of Teliagadhi and Sakrigali, he entrenched himself at Akbarnagar (Rajmahal). 'Alamgir appointed Nawab Mu'azzam Khan, Khan-i-Khanan, the Generalissimo, to be Subadar or Viceroy of Bengal. And detaching twenty-two renowned noblemen, like Nawab Islam Khan, Diler Khan, Daud Khan, Fateh Jang Khan, and Ihtisham Khan, etc., under the command of Sultan Muhammad, to pursue Shah Shuj'a, Aurangzeb himself triumphant and victorious marched back towards the Capital (Delhi).
