The wazir Asad Khan remained in charge of them with a suitable force. Princes Azam and Bidar Bakht joined the Emperor on the way; but Bidar Bakht was soon afterwards detached to pursue Rajaram, who was making a dash for Khandesh and Berar. Zulfiqar surnamed Nusrat Jang, who was coming up from the Madras side, joined the prince near the village of Charthanah (45 m. east of Jalna), but was afterwards given a roving commission, being charged with the special duty of fighting the Maratha field armies that hovered round the siege camp or threatened the Base at Islampuri. Another division, under Ruhullah and Hamid-ud-din, was sent to ravage the country between Satara and Panhala [M. A. 408-409 ; Dil. ii. 129a.]
