Before Nizām-ul-Mulk left Delhi for Gujarāt Sa‘ādat Khān, who held the government of Āgra, received the title of Burhān-ul-Mulk, by which he will henceforth be known, and was appointed to the government of Oudh, in addition to that of Āgra. The Jāts to the west and north-west of Āgra had long been a source of trouble. Their chief, Churāman, though he had sworn allegiance to Muhammad Shāh and was ostensibly ranged on his side at the battle of Hasanpur, had plundered the camps of both armies indiscriminately, and now exhibited scarcely a pretence of subordination either to the governor of Āgra or to the emperor. The deputy at Āgra, while riding abroad, was shot dead by a Jāt. Burhān-ul-Mulk set out from Oudh to avenge the death of his lieutenant, but Khān Daurān, who had resented his appointment to two such important provinces as Āgra and Oudh, in the absence of Nizām-ul-Mulk made the outrage a pretext for transferring the government of Āgra to Rājā Jay Singh of Amber.
