Next year, the last of Aurangzib's reign, a Maratha incursion into Gujrat was followed by a crushing disaster† to the Mughal army posted there, which encouraged all the enemies of the empire. Ajit Singh raised his head in rebellion for the third time. Durgadas again fled the Mughal camp and began to act in concert with him, causing risings in Therad and other places. But Prince Bidar Bakht, the gallant son of Azam Shah, was in charge of Gujrat. He sent a force against Durgadas, who now fled to the broken Koli country, south of Surat. [Mirat 390 and 394.]
