Chempet even undertook to be his guide through forests and over mountains which perhaps were considered impracticable by Dara; and Aureng-Zebe, leaving his tents standing to deceive his brother, had crossed with his troops to the other side of the river almost as soon as the enemy was apprised of his departure. In this emergency, Dara was compelled to abandon his fortifications, and pursue Aureng-Zebe, who advanced by rapid strides towards the river Geinna, on the banks of which he had time to intrench himself, refresh his men, and in his turn, await composedly the approach of the enemy. The position chosen by him was five leagues distant from Agra; the name of the place which was formerly called Samonguer is now Fateabad, that is to say the Place of Victory. Dara soon came up, and encamped also near the banks of the same river, between Agra and the army of Aureng-Zebe.
