The Emperor being tired of his residence at Burhanpur, resolved to return to the capital; so he set out on the 24th Ramazan, * * and arrived there on the 1st Zi-l hijja, 1241 A.H.
Affairs in the Dakhin had not been managed so well as they ought to have been by 'Azam Khan; so a mandate was sent to Mahabat Khan Khan-khanan, informing him that the government of Khandesh and the Dakhin had been conferred upon him, and he was directed to make the necessary preparations as quickly as possible, and start from Dehli to meet the Emperor and receive instructions. Yaminu-d daula Asaf Khan, with 'Azam Khan and other nobles under his command, were directed to return to Court.
