On 10th February 1704 Firuz Jang, following up his success, set out from Bhamgarh against Chhatra Sal, by way of Chanderi and Dhamuni, towards Garha. After marching 24 miles he halted in the jungle of Dhamuni. His vanguard under Khanjar Khan issued from the jungle and surprised Nima's army, which was off its guard, slaying many and recovering much booty. There were heavy losses on the Mughal side too. This victory removed famine from Firuz Jang's camp, where grain began again to sell at 20 seers a Rupee, against 1½ seers during the height of the raid. The victorious general reached Burhanpur on his return on 8th April.[†]
