v1.c10.s16.2

On the 27th Ramzan (12th August, 1719) a messenger brought word to Abdullah Khan that his brother had just obtained possession of Agra fort, and was then busied in appropriating its contents to his own use. Although the victory was a cause of rejoicing, the thought of exclusion from his share of the booty depressed the Wazir's mind. An immediate advance was resolved upon. On the 29th Ramzan (14th August, 1719) the camp was at Sarsi, and on the 11th Shawwal (26th August, 1719) at Ol, where Ajit Singh rejoined from Mathura. On the 17th of that month they reached the village of Bidyapur, not far from Fathpur Sikri.*
