v1.c6.s13.4

In a few days a letter came from Shujat Khan Barha, subahdar of Ajmer, informing His Majesty that the Rajahs, having collected 2000 horsemen and 15,000 infantry, had sent this force against Amber, under the leadership of Ram Chand and Sanwaldas. Sayyid Husain Khan, Ahmad Said Khan, and Mahmud Khan, reinforced by 2000 horse and 1000 foot sent by the subahdar, had come out to meet the enemy, of whom seven hundred were slain. Shujat Khan said he had rewarded Husain Khan, and hoped that his own good service would be appreciated. This lying report being accepted as true, there was much rejoicing in the imperial camp, with a distribution of gifts and liberal promotions. (Bahadur 122.)
