v4.c46.5
The contemporary evidence of eye-witnesses proves that the mercenary drilled sepoys and artillery commanded by Abdul Matlab Khan and Ala Yar Beg, that had entered Ismail Beg’s service, were so exasperated at their pay being long in arrears that they agreed to be neutral in the coming fight as soon as Sindhia paid them 1½ lakhs of Rupees. Treachery there was at Patan, but it was between the two Muslim groups of the same army and not between the two Rajput clans.
