Shāh Jahān, after his submission, had remained in the Deccan¹ till he heard of Mahābat Khān's seizure of the emperor. He suggested to Khān Jahān his intention of proceeding to the assistance of his father, but received no support. Collecting a small force he marched north, avoiding Burhānpur where Parvīz still lay ill. When he reached Ajmer Kishan Singh, son of his old ally Rājā Bhīm Singh, died and the small body of Rājput horse commanded by Kishan Singh fell back to their homes. As no reinforcements joined him he turned north-west through the desert country and made for Tatta in Sind.
