v1.c20.8

The news of this second victory, which was gained by Nizam Ool Moolk about the end of July, was received at Delhi with consternation by the Syuds, but with secret satisfaction by the Emperor. Various were the plans proposed by the two brothers, but it was at last determined, instead of yielding the government of the Deccan to Nizam Ool Moolk, a measure strongly advised by their Hindoo agent, Ruttun Chund, that the younger Syud, Hoossein Ally Khan, should march for the Deccan, taking with him the Emperor and a well-appointed army sufficient to crush this formidable rebel.
