v1.c6.s13.6
After the rainy season was over the Rajputs marched by way of Mairtha to Ajmer, then northwards towards Sambhar, which was a garrison town of the Muhammadans. To meet this inroad Sayyid Husain Khan Barha*, faujdar of Mewat, accompanied by his younger brothers, Ahmad Said Khan faujdar of Mairtha Sangalhana and Ghairat Khan, faujdar of Narnol, marched in all haste at the head of such troops as he could collect. As the result of his first onset, the Rajputs beat a retreat, leaving their tents standing, with all their baggage. Everything fell into the hands of the Sayyid. But the Rajahs had not gone more than four or five miles when word was brought to them that the Muhammadan leader, with his two brothers and other relations and many of his clansmen had been slain.
