Sarbuland Khān did not at once proceed to Gujarāt but appointed as his lieutenant Shujā'at Khān, who had acted in the same capacity before. Hāmid Khān withdrew from Ahmadābād to Dohad and there entered into negotiations with Kanthājī who, on being promised the *chauth*, readily joined him. The allies encamped at Kapadvanj and seized an opportunity of attacking Shujā‘at Khān near Ahmadābād. He was defeated and slain and Hāmid Khān’s authority was again recognised in Gujarāt, but an attempt by a brother of Shujā‘at Khān who was commandant of Surat to avenge Shujā‘at Khān’s death was also defeated.
