As he had been married to a young girl nearly related to the 
late Da,ad Khan, Panni, the partisan leaders of that clan, who 
were very numerous in the Dakhin, readily joined him; even 
‘Umar Khan, the nephew or cousin! of that deceased noble, ‘atten- 
ded, althongh Da,id Khan’s ‘uae still cried for vengeance. 
Other leaders of note were Johar Khan and Muhamdi Beg. The 
latter had long been deputy fanjdar of Gulshanabad,? and when 
Nizam-ul-mulk previously held rule in the six sibahs, he had 
been put in fetters and imprisoned by that gov ernor as a punish- 
ment for his exactions, Subsequently he was pardoned and 
time ‘Alim ‘Ali Khan bought him over with an absurdly high 
title, the rank of 5,000, and the right to beat kettle-drums. 
thers gained over in a similar manner were Matti Khan, his 
brother Latif Khan, Banwar, and his nephews Sayyid Wali 
Muhammad and Muhammad Ashraf of Nazarbar.3 These were all 
promoted to the rank of 5,000, and were placed under Tahavvar 
mca commanding the vanguard. Ghalib Khan, son of Rus- 
tam Khan,° whose family had been for generations in the Dakhin, 
joined along with Apa Pandit, his diwan or chief official.§ 
thers were Mirza ‘Ali, a noted warrior, and Sayyid ‘Alam, 
Barhah, Among the rest came Amin Khan, rg brother of 
Khan ‘Alam, Dakhini. This man was very ill-disposed towards 
the Suyyids, owing to the injury caused to him a few years before, 
at the tim was deputy governor of the Bidar siubah, when at 
Husain ‘Ali Khan 8 instigation, he was suddenly attacked by the 
adopted son of Rajah Sahai, the head of the Mahrattahs. Amin 
Khan, propitiated by the gift of money and of 2 or three 
elephants, now became a doubtful ally in the campaign, Other 
half-hearted adherents were Turktaz Khan and Fidaée Khan, 
diwan, both secret adherents of Nizim-ul-mulk. Among the other 
leaders were Ashraf Khan, bakhshi of the Dakhin, Rafihat 
commander of ‘Alim ‘Ali Khan’s artillery, and Sham sher Khan. 
The Mahrattah commanders were Santé Ji Sendhiah, Khinda Ji
