Leaving Wardhangarh (8 m. n. w. of Khatau) on 7th Nov. 1701, the Emperor arrived near Malkapur* in 12 marches. Here he halted for a week, while pioneers were set to make a road ahead. Bidar Bakht, who had cantoned for the rainy season in the Gokak-Hukri region (Belgaon district, in the south-east), here joined the Emperor, after taking some Maratha forts and burning some enemy villages on the way. On 6th December [23rd ?] the Emperor encamped on a high and broad open space on the side of the Sahyadri, seven miles north of Khelna.
