The Arab army marched on till it reached the fort of Bait, and all the horsemen were clad in iron armour. Pickets were posted in all directions, and orders were given to dig an entrenchment round the camp, and to deposit the baggage there. Muhammad Kasim then advanced from the fort of Bait towards Rawar, till he arrived at a place called Jewar (Jaipur). Between Rawar and Jewar (Jaipur) there was a lake, on which Dahir had stationed a select body of troops to reconnoitre.
