In consequence of the state of affairs in Bengal, 'Azam Khan who had been living for some time in retirement at Agra, was again received into favour, and he was sent with 5000 horse to assume the government of Bihar. For greater security, Shahbaz Khan Kambu, who was engaged against Rana Kika, and had nearly driven the Rana from the country, was summoned and sent with an army to the support of the forces in Bengal. When Shahbaz Khan came near to Hajipur, where 'Arab Bahadur had taken refuge with Raja Gajpati, he marched to attack him. For one month he carried on operations against him, clearing away the jungle, until at length he drove off 'Arab Bahadur, and made the Raja succumb. [The Emperor pays a visit to Sharif Khan Atka.
