The Mughals began the siege of Kondana in their usual manner with entrenching and cannonade from a hillock opposite the tower of the fort. They lost many men. But there was no life in the work of the besiegers, and success seemed as remote as ever. Three months were wasted in this way. The rainy season was now approaching. So, the Emperor's servants secured the fort on 8th April 1703, by heavily bribing the qiladar.* [K. K. 510, Dil. 145a.]
