Ulugh Khān and Jhūjhār Khān, who were joined by Sher Khān Fūlādī, invited I‘timād Khān to return to Gujarāt, and he assumed the office of regent, but there was little confidence between the parties, and I‘timād Khān refused to leave the capital when the other nobles marched to expel the Mīrzās, who had returned to Broach and resumed possession of their former fiefs. His suspicions were so bitterly resented that those who had recalled him to power agreed to divide his fiefs among themselves, but they quarrelled over the division of the spoil, and I‘timād Khān succeeded in detaching Jhūjhār Khān and inducing him to join him at Ahmadābād. Ulugh Khān joined Sher Khān Fūlādī at Ghiyāspur, opposite to Sarkhej, on the Sābarmātī, and the king, taking advantage of these dissensions, fled from Ahmadābād and joined the camp at Ghiyāspur. I‘timād Khān wrote to Sher Khān, impudently repudiating his own solemn oath and asserting that Muzaffar III was not the son of Mahmūd III, and that he had therefore deposed him and invited the Mīrzās from Broach in order that one of them might ascend the throne. The Mīrzās arrived, and when the quarrels between the two parties had continued for some time without any definite result I‘timād Khān again invited Akbar to invade the country.
