The Abdali-king, after so important a victory, gave some repose to his army, and then marched into the territory of Delhi, where he spent a few days, and where he bestowed the Empire of Hindostan on Shah-aalam, alias Aaly-goher; the office of Vezir, on Shudjah-ed-dovvlah; and the dignity of Prince of Princes on Nedjib-ed-dowlah. He recommended them to each other, exhorted them to union and concord, and ordered that Nedjib-ed-dowlah should reside in Shah-djehan-abad to take care of Mirza-djuvan-baqht's person, with injunctions to send as soon as possible for Shah-aalem, his father, who was then waging war in Bengal. He likewise sent for Shudjah-ed-dowlah, and recommended him to be submissive to Shah-aalem, whom he was to bring over and assist with all his might. After this injunction, he made him a present of his own arms, with a horse and a superb qhylaat, and dismissed him to his principality. The Monarch, after having dispatched some other business, which detained him as far as the sixteenth of Shaaban, quitted the gardens of Shaleh-mar, in the environs of Delhi, and set out for Candahar by continual marches, leaving by the way a Deputy-Governor at Lahor, it was in the year 1174. After his departure Shudjah-ed-dowlah set out for Aoud in the blessed month of Ramazan, and he was advancing by continual marches, when there happened an event that deserves to be mentioned.
