Burhān-ul-Mulk arrived in the camp on 24 February and was waiting for his baggage when he learnt that it had fallen into the hands of the enemy. He ordered his troops to mount in an attempt to recover his baggage. Nizām-ul-Mulk hesitated to join Burhān-ul-Mulk's troops, who were still weary from their march, but Khān Daurān decided to go to his support and led his troops to the attack, coming up about a mile to the right of Burhān-ul-Mulk. The emperor and Nizām-ul-Mulk followed him and their advanced troops closed the interval between Khān Daurān and Burhān-ul-Mulk, but the emperor with the main body of his army remained just without the enceinte of the camp.
