In October, at the close of the rainy season, Sadāshiv marched from Delhi towards Sirhind, his object being, apparently, to raise and occupy the Punjab and thus cut off Ahmad Shāh's retreat. On 17 October he reached the fort of Kunjpura, six miles north-east of Karnāl, now held for Ahmad Shāh. He took and plundered the fort, and continued his march towards Sirhind.
