But the night before it, Mahārājā Jasvant Singh, who commanded Aurangzīb’s right wing, made a treacherous and quite unexpected attack on his master, plundered the camp of prince Muhammad Sultān and also much of Aurangzīb’s baggage, and then fled to his own country with his Rājput contingent (14,000 strong). Aurangzīb’s cool courage and strict discipline in making the other divisions keep their own places during this night of alarm, prevented the confusion and panic from spreading and saved his army from further loss. With daylight many of his dispersed troops returned to his standard, and he advanced to the attack at the head of 50,000 to 55,000 men, as against Shujāʻ’s 23,000. - [Previous: v4.c19.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.8) - [Next: v4.c19.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.10) - [Up: v4.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.9) · Pramāṇa
