v1.c6.s13.1

When Bahadur Shah left Ajmer on his march for the Dakhin, he took with him Rajah Jai Singh Kachhwaha and Maharajah Ajit Singh Rathor. Their acquiescence in this semi-captivity was apparently nothing but a mask for further plans. As already stated they escaped from the Emperor's camp on the 30th April 1708, when it was near Mandeshwar in Malwa. A month afterwards (30th May) it was ascertained that they had gone to Rana Amar Singh at Udaipur. In a few days information was received that a daughter of Jai Singh had been promised to the Rana, and that the three chiefs had entered into an agreement for joint resistance. This was in spite of the fact that the Rana had sent in letters professing submission. [Bahadur, 110.]
