Tarikh-i Hindi 13: Seventeenth Year of the Reign.

13

According to the Emperor's orders, I'timadu-d daula Kamru-d din Khan Nusrat Jang, with a large army, many elephants, and heavy ordnance, moved towards the enemy through Agra, and Amiru-l umara Bahadur Samsamu-d daula Mansur Jang, with many nobles and Rajas, and at the head of an army said to amount to 90,000 horse, and a large park of artillery, marched through the territory of Mewat. But through the misrepresentations of Raja Jai Singh, he was induced to give orders not to commence an action. One day, however, as 'Alí Hámid Khán, one of the chief nobles, had left camp, he encountered by chance a body of the enemy. Although he had no force with him at the time, yet with his few attendants he repulsed the assailants, and returned to the camp in safety. As the Amíru-l umará would not engage with the enemy, one of the nobles named Tír-andáz Khán deserted him, and departed with three hundred horse with the intention of going to Dehlí; upon which a party of the enemy, acting, it is said, under the instructions of Raja Jai Singh, hastened in pursuit, and having overtaken him, surrounded him on all sides like a swarm of ants and locusts. Tír-andáz Khán showed great courage, and after fighting nobly, met with the honour of martyrdom. Of his followers some were killed, and others fell prisoners into the hands of the enemy.
In the mean time, one of the enemy, by name Malharjí, with a body of 45,000 horse, overran some of the parganas of Rája Jai Singh, and laid siege to the fort of Sambhar. After three days the city was taken and plundered. It is said that nine hundred inhabitants of the city were killed and wounded. He took a contribution of one hundred and fifty thousand rupees, besides two elephants and some horses from Fakhru-d dín Husain Khán, son of Udu Afghán Khán, the then governor of the place, and returned to oppose the army of the Amíru-l umará.
The Amíru-l umará, deceived by Raja Jai Singh, returning to the capital without coming once to action, arrived on the 17th of Zí-l hijja. I'timádu-d daula, who had gone to oppose the enemy viâ Ágra, fought with Pílují Mahratta, near Narwar.
At last, he also, leaving the result of the war, returned to Dehlí on the 29th of Zí-l hijja in the same year.
