From Khajwa, where we left him, Farrukh-siyar marched on the 3rd Zul Qada (1st December, 1712) to Qasba Kora. Here he halted for a day, forty horses from Azz-ud-din's fugitive army were brought in, and a visit was paid to the shrine of Shaikh Badi-ud-din. The next marches were Alamnagar (5th), Dohar (7th), Jophra (8th), Sapoli (10th), Nadhaya (11th), and the town of Makhanpur on the 12th. On the next day visits were paid to the shrine of Shah Madar,* and gifts were distributed there and at the tombs of other holy men. On the 15th (13th December, 1712) they moved to Makrandnagar, where Ali Asghar Khan was created Khan Zaman and made a *Bakhshi* in place of Azam Khan.
