v1.c6.s6.8

Owing to the intelligence which reached him of Azam Shah's movements, Bahadur Shah ordered his advance-tents to be sent forward and pitched in a grove four miles north of Jajau.* Rustam Dil Khan, Mir Tuzak, was in charge, and Prince Muhammad Azim was not far off, protecting the new camp. On the 18th June 1707 Bahadur Shah, following the advice of his astrologers, fixed on the 20th as a fortunate day on which to give battle. He and his three sons set out in the morning from their old camp and entered a royal hunting preserve which was near their route intending to pass the day in hunting.† [K.K. 587, Jang.]
