v1.c6.s9.4

After a stay of three days in Amber, the palaces and houses of which had been deserted by their inhabitants, Bahadur Shah continued his march towards Jodhpur, passing Sanganer and Kishangarh.* He was still on his way to Ajmer when two important reports were received. First, it was notified that on hearing of the Emperor's drawing near to Ajmer, Rana Amar Singh had fled in fright from Udaipur sending his family and property to a hiding place in the hills. The second report came from the Dakhin, and it had reference to Muhammad Kam Bakhsh. He had issued coinage and caused the khutba to be read in his own name. This was, of course, a declaration of independence, and in spite of Bahadur Shah's love of peace, this was apparently a claim that he felt bound to resist. From this time he resolved as soon as he had dealt with Jodhpur to march into the Dakhin to suppress Kam Bakhsh.
