With the end of the rainy season, fighting was renewed, Sharzā Rao joined Brownrigg on 1st October, and the vast Sindhian army with their powerful artillery* moved confidently towards Ujjain. Jaswant Holkar immediately evacuated that city and hastened to the defence of his own capital Indore, where he encamped at Khazrāni, a mile north-east of the city. An agent of Sindhia immediately occupied Ujjain, but Sharzā Rao with the army, by-passing Ujjain, pushed on towards Indore.
