The Dakhinís followed march by march, and 'Azam Khán, notwithstanding his great strength, fell back before them, till he reached Nandurbár. He wrote letters to Khán-khánán at Ahmadábád, calling for assistance, and Khán-khánán sent me and a number of amírs, such as \* \*, on in advance, and declared his own intention of following. When I arrived at Mahmúdábád, 'Azam Khán left his army at Nandurbár, and proceeded with a few attendants to Ahmadábád. Khán-khánán came out quickly from Ahmadábád to receive him, and they met at the place where I was resting, and then returned to Ahmadábád. 'Azam Khán's sister was wife of Khán-khánán, so he went to see her, and the two Kháns resolved to proceed afterwards against the Dakhinís. - [Previous: 78.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3.7) - [Next: 78.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3.9) - [Up: 78.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.78.3.8) · Pramāṇa
