v2.c13.s8.6

Such was the state of consternation into which the Sayyids had been thrown, that every day produced some new plan of action, only to be discarded in its turn for one still more new. First, they resolved to march together to the Dakhin with the Emperor; then, that Husain Ali Khan should go with Muhammad Shah, while Abdullah Khan returned to Dihli; next, that Muhammad Shah should return with the Wazir to the capital. At another time, they thought they would make terms with Nizam-ul-mulk, as in the letter just quoted, and postpone an attack upon him to a more favourable opportunity. According to these varying decisions, the advance tents of the Emperor and of the two ministers were sent out first in one direction and then in another.
