∗ Baji Rao writes, "The Nizam's army took refuge in Bhupal fort. I set off against him on 3rd Ramzan [24th Dec. 1737]. He has with him the son of Sawai Jai Singh, Sabha Singh Bundela, his own son Ghazi-ud-din, Jats, Ahirs, Rohelas, Rajputs......[in all] 50,000 troopers. Saadat Khan's nephew and the Kota Rajah are coming to his aid with 20,000 more men......" "The Nizam is a great amir; his army is 30 or 40 thousand strong, furnished with many hain-nal, shutar-nal, barqandazes and rahkala. And yet he hides himself in a fort! This is not creditable to him." [J. Sarkar.]
