v2.c15.s4.2
Chhattarsal disgusted at Bahadur Khan's neglect of his services, decided to join Shivaji, the Mahratta, and with this intention after a long and trying march through hills and forest, he crossed the Bhima river. At an interview Shivaji counselled him to return to his own country of Bundelkhand and there raise his standard against the Muhammadans.[†] Adopting this suggestion Chhattarsal first of all sought to obtain assistance from Subhkaran Bundela Rajah of Datiya, then serving in the Mughal employ in the Dakhin. Subhkaran refused to quit the Mughal, but offered to intercede with the Emperor and obtain for Chhattarsal a suitable rank. Chhattarsal refused.
