Becoming his guide, Murad Khan led the Mirza by a route across the forest towards the Dakhin. Ali Vardi Khan, after holding a thanksgiving service for meeting Saulat Jang and obtaining victory, allowed Saulat Jang to retire to the city of Katak for rest, whilst he himself, after resting some time and being freed from all anxiety on account of the enemy, entered Katak triumphantly. And after chastising fully the adherents and friends of Mirza Baqir, Ali Vardi confiscated all the branded horses of Mirza Baqir, appointed Shaikh Ma'sum, who was an able General, to the office of Deputy Nazim of the Subah of Odisah (Orissa), and after finishing the administrative arrangements of that Province returned to Bengal. - [Previous: 111.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.2.5) - [Next: 111.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.2.7) - [Up: 111.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.111.2.6) · Pramāṇa
