v1.c9.s14.5

Husain Ali Khan’s audience of leave-taking was granted on the 29th Zul Qada (16th December 1713), and his advance tents left Dihli on the 20th Zul Hijja 1125 H. (6th January 1714). The generals under him were Sarbuland Khan, Afrasyab Khan, Itiqad Khan (grandson of Shaista Khan, deceased), Dildaler Khan, Saif-ud-din Ali Khan, Najm-ud-din Ali Khan, Asadullah Khan, Sayyid Shujaat-ullah Khan, Sayyid Husain Khan, Sayyid Khan, Aziz Khan Rohela, Chaghta Bahadur, Shakir Khan, Ghulam Ali Khan, Rajah Udwant Singh Bundela, Raja Gopal Singh Bhadauriya, Rajah Raj Bahadur of Rupnagar and others. From the imperial magazines there were delivered to him 500 mans of powder and lead, 200 rockets, 100 *mahtab*, and five cannon. Although a letter had been received from the Rajah on the 15th Zul Hijja 1125 H. (1st January 1714), the contents not being of a satisfactory nature, the preparations were not suspended and the advance began. Then Raghunath, a *munshi* in the service of Ajit Singh, came to Sarai Sahal, escorted by one thousand horsemen, with a view to negotiation.* Husain Ali Khan was then at Sarai Allahwirdi Khan. He rejected the terms offered and sent on his tents from Sarai Sahal. [Kamwar 142, B. M. 1690, *f.* 166*a*.]
