These events assisted Abdullah Khan in making good his advance. Accompanied now by Chabela Ram, Muhammad Khan, and Ali Asghar Khan, he came out behind the rear of Jahandar Shah. The movement was facilitated, or rather made possible, by the defection of the Turanis under Chin Qilich Khan and Muhammad Amin Khan, who according to the previous agreement, stood aloof and made no effort to interfere. At the rear there was no preparation for defence. Abdullah Khan, without a moment's hesitation, marched straight upon the elephants bearing Jahandar Shah's women. Islam Khan and Murtaza Khan came out and did their best to stem the torrent. But they were soon killed. [Nur. 110-111.]
