Girdhar Bahādur had strengthened the defences of Allāhābād, which he still hesitated to surrender. At length he said he would deal with nobody but Ratan Chand, who was accordingly sent, on 10 March, 1720, to negotiate the surrender. A month later Girdhar, leaving the gates of the fort open, marched off to take over his province. The evacuation was celebrated at Āgra as a great victory won by the imperial arms.
