News of Marāthā inroads in Mālwā and Gujarāt now reached Delhi, and Nizām-ul-Mulk, who was at Soron, near the Ganges, informed the emperor that these required his immediate presence in his own provinces, and, without waiting for formal permission, marched at once into Mālwā. On his approach the Marāthās, who had only followed his own secret advice, retired across the Narbadā and Nizām-ul-Mulk encamped for some time at Sehore. Here he learnt of the existence at Delhi of an elaborate conspiracy to compass his overthrow.
