v3.c51.s1.2

This was too much for Aurangzib. He at once removed Akbar from the Chitor command (14th June) and sent him off to Marwar. The prince, smarting under the disgrace, stopped writing to the Emperor for some days, which called forth further reprimands. In Marwar, too, he failed either to crush the roving Rathor bands or to penetrate into Mewar by the Deosuri Pass as planned by the Emperor. Indeed, his six months' stay there (July-December, 1680) was unrelieved by a single decisive military success, if we except the forcing of the Jhilwara Pass which was effected by a commissioner specially sent from Court for the purpose.
