Daryā Khān, on discovering that the king had escaped him and found a powerful protector, renounced the struggle to maintain his ascendancy and sent to the king a mission with the royal insignia, elephants, horses, and his own letter of resignation; but his old accomplice, Fattūjī Muhāfiz Khān, coming into the city from his fief of Vīramgām, met the mission at Sarkhej, turned it back, and persuaded Daryā Khān to strike a blow for the recovery of his lost supremacy. It was necessary to oppose a puppet to the actual king, and a child of obscure origin was accordingly proclaimed and carried by Daryā Khān with the army which he led against Mahmūd III and his new protectors. - [Previous: v3.c25.141](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c25.141) - [Next: v3.c25.143](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c25.143) - [Up: v3.c25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c25) ## Cites (1) - [Junagarh](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.junagarh) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c25.142](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.haig-1928.v3.c25.142) · Pramāṇa
