Nawab Mahabat Jang, on hearing of the above disaster, marched swiftly to Bardvvan. He paid to each soldier two months' pay and also other gifts on account of the victory of Katwah, advanced to Katak, and repeatedly assaulting the Mahratta troops drove them from Katak, and victoriously entered its citadel. Leaving General Abdu-r-Rasul Khan, who was a second Mustafa Khan and who was also the latter's nephew, as the Deputy Nazim of Orissa, together with a contingent of six thousand cavalry and infantry, Mahabat Jang returned to the Subah of Bengal.
