Sarbuland Khān had been in no hurry to leave Delhi, as the emperor had promised to appoint him minister if it were possible. When news of Hāmid Khān’s two victories arrived the emperor decided that the power of the Turanian faction was still too great and begged Sarbuland Khān to depart for his province. In the summer of 1725 he and Girdhar Bahādur, who was going to take charge of the government of Mālwā, left the capital together, followed closely by Sayyid Najm-ud-dīn ‘Alī Khān, who had been appointed second in command of a large force.
