While Aurangzeb was at Dihli, Dara marched from Gujarat towards the city of Agrah, at the head of thirty thousand horsemen, relying on the word given him by Rajah Jaswant Singh that he would bring his entire army and incorporate it, so as to make one irresistible army for the destruction of Aurangzeb. The latter, when the report was received, left Dihli to attack Dara wherever encountered. Aware that Jaswant Singh meant to give help to Dara, he directed Rajah Jai Singh to endeavour by letters to persuade the said Jaswant Singh to desist from this purpose. Aurangzeb promised him pardon for his previous rebellion, offered to receive him into favour, make him viceroy of Gujarat, and allow him to retain the treasure plundered during the battle against Shah Shuja'. If he did not refrain from joining Dara there must be much destruction and many deaths on both sides, for he (Jai Singh) would have to seek him (Jaswant Singh) out in the battle-field. As they were both Rajputs, of one nation and religion, the Mahomedans would triumph at seeing them destroyed.
