Muhammad Ksim grants 'Alff a safe passage. Dhir confers with 'Alff. Letters pass between Muhammad Ksim and Hajjj. Dhir sends Jaisiya to reconnoitre. First fight with the accursed Dhir. Treaty of Rsil with Muhammad Ksim. Rsil, after showing marks of respect and offering promises of fidelity, said, "No one can oppose the will of the Almighty God. As you have bound me by your obligations, I shall after this be at your service, and will never contravene your wishes. I shall obey whatever may be your orders." After a short time Rsil lost his position, and the management of the country devolved upon Moka. Rsil and Moka agreed in opinion, and advised Muhammad Ksim to march. He accordingly set out from that place and reached a village which is called Nran. Dhir was at Kajjat. They saw that between them and Dhir's camp there was a large lake, which was very difficult to cross. Rsil said, — "May the most just and religious noble live long. It is necessary to cross this lake." Rsil obtained a boat, and sent three men across at a time, till the whole army crossed over, and took post on a bay. Rsil said, "If you will advance one stage more, you will arrive at Jewar (Jaipur), on the banks of the Wadhwah. This is a village suitable for your encampment and is the same distance from the camp of Dhir as it is from here. There you may attack him both in front and rear, and successfully enter into his position and occupy it." Muhammad Ksim approved of the advice, and reached Jewar (Jaipur) and the Wadhwah. - [Previous: 103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-elliot.103) - [Next: 105](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-elliot.105) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-elliot.104](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-elliot.104) · Pramāṇa
