v1.c6.s13.2

In July 1708* Jodhpur was surrounded by thirty thousand Rathor horse; and after five days Mihrab Khan the *faujdar*, through the intervention of Durgadas Rathor, capitulated and was allowed to retreat with honour. The Jodhpur bard, who is Tod's authority, places Jai Singh Kachhwaha in the background and leaves him encamped through the rainy season of 1708 at Sur Sagar, apparently an artificial lake close to Jodhpur town. But the Muhammadan writers tell us that on the 19th June it was announced to the Emperor that the combined Rajahs had made an attack on Amber. Seven days afterwards a further report was received that they had defeated the faujdar of Hindaun and Biana, places 70 and 50 miles south-west of Agra. As they were then parganas of the Agra subah, the governor of that province, Amir Khan, was directed by the Emperor to assemble troops and march to suppress the outbreak. [Bahadur 116, Kamwar 25.]
