v5.c74.s14.5

Zulfiqar used the reinforcements brought by Qasim Khan to reassert Mughal authority over the neighbourhood and fill his chest. His disastrous retreat from the walls of Jinji had been a signal for the numerous petty zamindars of the Karnatak to rise in rebellion and lawlessness. They plundered banjaras bringing grain to the Mughal camp and seized certain forts. Zulfiqar now chastised them, exacted fines, and returned to Wandiwash. [Dil. 111a. and 112b.]
