v2.c13.s14.15

At Pahari, Sher Afkan Khan Panipati, the faujdar of Kora and Jahanabad, subah Allahabad, also marched in and joined the imperialists. When near Agra, on his way from Allahabad to his jagirs at Sikandra, he had met some messengers riding from Court, and asked the news. They told him that two days previously Husain Ali Khan had been killed. Khush-hal Chand, who was near his elephant, saw his face flush with joy at the emancipation of Muhammad Shah, the son of his old master, Jahan Shah. Not long after this, a letter came to him from Nawab Qudsiya, the Emperor's mother, written by her own hand, in which he was distinguished with the epithet "brother". Other arrivals were Bayazid Khan Mewati, a powerful man in that country, and Khema Jat, one of Chura-man's chief officers. This Jat was placed in charge of the imperial rear-guard.*
