As soon as the disturbance raised by Mir Jumla's return had been allayed, another hunting expedition was planned. At once the word passed from house to house and from tent to tent, that during the journey the arrest of Qutb-ul-mulk would be arranged. Farrukh-siyar moved to the Shalimar garden at Agharabad§ on the 6th Rabi II. 1128 H. (29th March, 1716), and thence on the 10th, six kos further on, to Siuli. He returned to Agharabad on the 26th, and it was here that the fight took place on the 29th (21st April, 1716) between the retainers of Samsam-ud-daulah and Muhammad Amin Khan, as already related. Farrukh-siyar returned to the palace on the 11th Jamadi II. (1st June, 1716). An urgent messenger had been sent on the 7th Rabi II. (20th March) to bring Rajah Jai Singh Sawai, from Malwa, and on the 14th Jamadi II. (4th June) the Rajah was reported to be at Sarai Allahwirdi Khan; he was received in audience two days afterwards, Samsam-ud-daulah conducting him from his camp near the Idgah.* Shortly afterwards Rao Rajah Budh Singh Hada, of Bundi, arrived. He had been expelled by Maharajah Bhim Singh Hada, of Kota. Jai Singh introduced the fugitive to the Emperor and obtained for him promises of succour. Every day Rajah Jai Singh seemed to rise in Farrukh-siyar's estimation. Finally, on the 9th Shawwal (25th September, 1716), he was entrusted with the crushing of Churaman Jat, under the circumstances and with the results already recorded.†
