This officer, who commanded a force under Imad-ool-Moolk, was absent at Dundooka; but hearing of Bahadur Shah’s arrival on the frontier, instantly joined his standard. The Prince Luteef Khan, the second son of Moozuffur Shah, then at Dundooka, raised a sum of money there for his expenses, and marched to join his cousin Futteh Khan. On his arrival at Dongurpoor, Bahadur Shah was joined by Khoorum Khan and many of the Guzerat officers, so that Imad-ool-Moolk, finding himself deserted by most of his adherents, began to lavish the royal treasures in raising troops. He succeeded by this means in bringing together a great concourse of people, few of whom were soldiers; and he ordered Azd-ool-Moolk, accompanied by fifty elephants, to march to Mahrasa, and cut off the communication between Bahadur Shah and the Guzeratties. On reaching Mahomednuggur, many officers who were afraid to join him before now went over to Bahadur Shah; and Azd-ool-Moolk was compelled to fall back on Champanere, and to join Imad-ool-Moolk. Bahadur Shah, continuing his march to Mahrasa, received at that place from Taj Khan the royal jewels; after which, proceeding to Nehrwala Puttun, Bahadur Shah was formally crowned on the 26th of Rumzan, A. H. 932, and reached Ahmudabad on the 28th. - [Previous: 211.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.211.2) - [Next: 211.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.211.4) - [Up: 211](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.211) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.211.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.211.3) · Pramāṇa
