Retreat of the Rathors.—" The Aravalli gave shelter to the Rathors. From its fastnesses they issued, and mowed down entire harvests of the Muslim, piling them in khallas.² Aurang had no repose. Jalor was invaded by one body, Siwana by another of the faithful chiefs of Ajit, whose an³ daily increased, while Aurang’s was seldom invoked. The king gave up the war against the Rana to send all his troops into Maru ; but the Rana, who provoked the rage of Aurang from granting refuge to Ajit, sent his troops under his own son, Bhim, who joined the Rathors, led by Indarbhan and Durgadas in Godwar. Prince Akbar and Tahawwur Khan advanced upon them, and a battle took place at Nadol. The Sesodias had the right. The combat was long and bloody. Prince Bhim fell at the head of the Mewaris : he was a noble bulwark to the Rathors.¹ Indarbhan was slain, with Jeth the Udawat, performing noble deeds ; and Soning Durga did wonders on that day, the 14th Asoj, S. 1737 ” (the winter of A.D. 1681).
