The army then proceeded to Gwalior, which is also a strong fort belonging to a different Raja, who came out to meet the army and show his loyalty. The Rani of Nagarkot, whose son was at the Imperial Court, sent her vakil to pay her respects. On every side the rebels were compelled to submit, and show their obedience. All the country which had been in the hands of the rebels between Jammu and Nagarkot was reduced, and the Rajas and zamindars made their submission, or received merited punishment. In fact, the country was subjugated in a manner which it had never been before. The affairs of the clan (jama'at) of the Jasuwalas, who are zamindars with a (common) army, now had to be settled. But when they heard of the approach of the royal army, and of the reduction of the territories of the zamindars, all hope of successful resistance was beaten out of them, and they made humble submission.
