65.33.3

This alone was not the cause of Aurangzeb's leaving Multan; it was due still more to his having received advices that Prince Shah Shuja' with a great army was marching from Bengal against the city of Agrah. So great was the terror of Aurangzeb lest Shah Shuja' might arrive first at Agrah city with his army, that he went on in advance of his army two or three leagues, followed by very few men, sometimes quite alone. His object was to make his men follow with greater quickness. He rested beneath some trees, his head supported on his shield, until [220] some men overtook him and formed a retinue. In this way Aurangzeb moved on with extreme haste, and passing by Lahor, he left there as viceroy the traitor Khalilullah Khan, and, without delaying, continued his route to Agrah, taking the whole of his army. Going on one day in advance, with only five horsemen, he was passing through a grove of trees in a wood, when all of a sudden there appeared from the opposite direction Rajah Jai Singh, who had come to seek him through the wilds of the Laqui Janguel (Lakhi Jungle). With him were three thousand well-armed horsemen, all Rajputs.
