v3.c26.79

Nasīr Khān of Satwās attacked the new governor with the object of seizing his person and holding him as a hostage for his father, Sikandar Khān, but was defeated, though Shujā‘at Khān was severely wounded in the battle. He had not recovered from his wounds when he was summoned by Hājī Khān to assist him against Qādir Shāh, who, having assembled an army in Bānswāra, was marching to attack him. Shujā‘at Khān responded to the appeal, and Qādir was defeated, and fled to Gujarāt. The credit of the victory rested with Shujā‘at Khān, and Hājī Khān was recalled and Shujā‘at Khān was appointed to succeed him as viceroy of Mālwa.
