6

His Majesty, the asylum of the world, Shah 'Alam Badshah, having subdued the Deputy Subadar of the province of 'Azimabad, and taken a contribution from him, returned to the province of Oudh, which belonged to Nawab Shuja'u-d daula. The Nawab advanced to receive him with honour. The Emperor, accompanied by him, went towards Jhansi and the fort of Kalinjar, which were very strong places, and in the possession of the Bundela Rajas and Mahrattas. Shuja'u-d daula with his army went as far as Mahoba, which is near the fort of Kalinjar, and overran the country. The Raja of Kalinjar was obliged to pay him a contribution and also to promise an annual tribute.
The districts of Jhansi, Kalpi, etc., which belonged to the Bundelas and others, were after many battles and struggles taken from them, and annexed to the dominions of the Emperor and Nawab Shuja'u-d daula. * * Afterwards they crossed the Ganges, and proceeded to Mahdi-ghat, where they encamped in 1177 A.H. (1763 A.D.).
