v1.c23.39
Khan Dowran, who was killed in a precipitate attack on the Persian army, had been succeeded as Vizier by Kummur-ud-deen Khan, the friend of Nizam Ool Moolk, so that the faction of the Tooranee Moghuls remained in power, though contrary to the secret wishes of the Emperor. Nizam Ool Moolk, dignified with the title of Umeer Ool Oomrah, remained for some time at Delhi, but having heard that his son Nasir Jung meditated rebellion, he obtained the Emperor’s sanction for transferring his title of Umeer Ool Oomrah to his eldest son Ghazee-ud-deen, and commenced his march for the Deccan.
