Foiled in his object, Santa turned aside to the hills of Targul (?) in the Berad country, while Himmat Khan halted at Malkhed, not daring to venture into that wild and broken region. In a day or two the elusive Maratha leader was out again and reported to be marching upon Haidarabad. Himmat Khan, now joined by Sayyid Abdullah, was immediately on his track and drove him into the small fort of Alur (14 miles s.w. of Malkhed). This happened about 21st Nov. 1693. Then for three months the records have been lost.
