Tarikh-i Hindi 3: Sixth Year of the Reign.

Nizamu-l Mulk, being disgusted with the Emperor, went towards Muradabad and Sambhal, under the pretence of hunting. When he had gone as far as the Ganges, near the town of Garh Muktesar, he at once turned aside from his course, and proceeding via Kol and Jalesar, crossed the Chambal and went towards the Dakhin. The Emperor, on hearing of this, sent orders to Mubariz Khan, appointing him governor of that province, and instigating him to destroy Nizamu-l Mulk. Mubarizu-l Mulk, in consideration of the obligations he owed, went from Haidarabad towards Aurangabad. Nizamu-l Mulk sued for peace, but Mubariz Khan was destined for the honour of martyrdom, so he did not listen to his advances, and rashly engaged in fight. The brave warriors, having boldly fought, put many insurgents to the sword. By chance.
Mubarizu-l Mulk was slain, and Nizamu-l Mulk, in perfect security, obtained the governorship of the Dakhin. Muhammad Shah, on being informed of this, was obliged to confer the post of minister, which was vacated by Nizamu-l Mulk, on I'timadu-d daula Kamru-d din Khan, and sent a farman to Nizamu-l Mulk, appointing him governor of the Dakhin, and bestowing on him the rank of vicegerency and the title of A'saf Jah.
