The Akbarī Generations 78.3.7

78.3.7

This force concentrated at Hindia, on the borders of the Dakhin. 'Azam Khan had a feud with Shahabu-d din Ahmad Khan, then ruler of Ujjain, because he suspected Shahabu-d din of having instigated the murder of his father, 'Azdu-d daula endeavoured to assuage his animosity; but 'Azam Khan was a passionate man, and insulted both Shahabu-d din and 'Azdu-d daula. For six months the force remained inactive at Hindia, and at length matters reached such a pitch that Shahabu-d din, being offended with 'Azam Khan, went off to his jagir of Raisin. 'Azam Khan marched to attack him, and a dire calamity was upon the point of falling upon the royal army; but 'Azdu-d daula managed to effect a reconciliation. When Raja 'Ali Khan, the ruler of Asir and Burhanpur, saw these dissensions in the Imperial army, he gathered his forces and marched against 'Azdu-d daula. On his approach, 'Azdu-d daula went to him, and sought to win him over; but he did not succeed, so he retreated to Gujarat to strengthen Khán-khánán.
