Khorashan had been promised to Baadur, eldest son of the influential Georgian nobleman, Nugzar I, Duke of Aragvi, but the girl was given by Luarsab in marriage to a 23-year-old widower, King Teimuraz I of Kakheti, in 1612.

Amirgune Khan appeared at dawn, but he failed to find the fugitives, and withdrew, only to be attacked and defeated by the queen's majordomo, Prince Nodar Jorjadze, on his road back to Iran.

[7] This description of events is similar to that provided by the contemporary Portuguese Augustinian friar Ambrósio dos Anjos in his account of the martyrdom of Teimuraz's mother, Queen Ketevan, in Iran.

[8] Prince Vakhushti also reports an incident in which Teimuraz, outraged at defection of the nobles of the Baratashvili clan, was about to have their wives mutilated, but Khorashan did not allow him such an act of revenge.

[9] The couple eventually ended up in exile in the Kingdom of Imereti in western Georgia in 1648, having lost their only son, Prince David, in a battle with the Iranian army in the same year.

The beleaguered king Teimuraz sent Khorashan to parley; Rostom treated the queen with honor and magnanimously allowed his adversary a safe passage to Imereti.
