157.2

No sooner had Prince A'azzu-d din passed the Jumna than great disorder arose in his army in consequence of jealousy and want of co-operation among the sardars, and the irresolution of the Prince. When Kulich Khan arrived at Agra, he heard of the disordered state of the Prince's army in consequence of the want of union among the officers, and he advised a delay of a few days at Agra to see what course events would take. Muhammad Farrukh Siyar, supported by Saiyid 'Abdu-llah Khan, Husain 'Ali Khan, and other experienced warriors, was marching onwards. Chhabila Ram, Faujdar of Kora and Karra, with Asghar Khan, Faujdar of Itawa, took the treasure of their districts, and went to join Prince (A'azzu-d din); but when they got knowledge of the conduct and doings of Khan-dauran, the incapacity of the Prince, and the disorders in the army, they fell back and carried the treasure to Farrukh Siyar.
