When Prince A'azzu-d dín arrived at Agra, Chín Kalích Khán advised him to go no farther, and kept him there. On the 18th of the month Jumáda-l awwal Jahándár Sháh entered Dehlí. He was looking for news of victory from his son; and when he received the intelligence of his defeat he exerted the sense and judgment which the plunderers of the army of Venus had left him in making preparations for war. About the middle of Zí-l ka'da he left Dehlí. The forces under the command of Zú-l fikár Khán Nusrat Jang did not exceed 20,000 horse. Twenty-five thousand horse under Kokaltásh Khán came to the muster. Altogether the army contained about seventy or eighty thousand horse, and nearly a hundred thousand infantry. With this force he marched against Farrukh Siyar, and reached Samúgarh near Agra. Farrukh Siyar's army did not number one-third of that of Jahándár Sháh, which was advancing with difficulty.
