Next year again, in October (1797) the report of Zamān Shah's march from Kābul towards India* thoroughly alarmed Daulat Rao, especially as the Rajput Rajas had now become restive and were actively planning to throw off the Marātha yoke, and expel Ambāji Inglé. So, Daulat Rao (about 8th November) sent directions to General Perron and to each of the officers commanding the detached corps, directing them to consider themselves under the orders of Jagu Bāpu and Lakhwā Dādā. At the same time he ordered these two supreme chiefs to assemble all their troops and march to Mewār and Jodhpur, leaving Khāndoji Inglé to continue the languid siege of Datiā.
