Champat drew back his forces, but the king marched forward. Champat complained of this deception ; but the wazir wrote to him that he must continue his retirement leisurely, that the king would retire without fail. If he had advanced for a time as he had done, it was only that his army might not murmur against him. Champat once more believed what he was told, and retreated again. This caused his soldiers to take fright, seeing that the king continued to follow, without the rajah ever daring to attack. Thus most of the Hindu army dispersed, in such a manner that Champat was forced to take refuge in the jungle. The king's army invaded the territories of the prince and plundered them. Champat complained to Sa'dullah Khan about having been misled, but Sa'dullah Khan replied that the king had also broken his word to him. Thus was the Bundelah left in the extensive forests and the mountains with a considerable force, where the king was unable to get at him. In the end he was obliged to enter the king's service [144] in person with three thousand horse and accept pay from him; and until this day there are descendants of his who always assume the name of Champat Bundelah, and serve, as he did, under the Mogul flag.
