Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c46.7

v4.c46.7

There was a rupture between the Rathors and the Kachhwas *after* the battle, but money was at the root of it. Bijay Singh had agreed to help Sawai Pratap Singh with his Rathor cavalry on condition of their full expenses being borne by the Jaipur Government. Sawai Jai Singh II was popularly believed to have left behind him many *krores* of treasure; but in reality his successor at the time of this battle was utterly impoverished, his vassals were withholding their annual tributes and his war-wasted fields were yielding no revenue. This fact the Rathor contingent would not recognise and they at last abandoned the Jaipur cause in anger.
