He had at first decided to start on 20th October. But "the treasure ordered from the provincial treasury of Malwa had not yet arrived, and there was no sign of its having even started." (H.A. 74.)

Jai Singh immediately paid the salary due to his troops and started on the 19th from the foot of fort Purandar, and advanced rapidly without waiting for the arrival of the big guns and siege materials from Parenda.
