Jai Singh also favoured the Bharatpur Raja and secured a province worth five lakh rupees a year for him.

[5] Upon Suraj Mal's death, his successor, Jawahar Singh, was very proud of the wealth and soldiers that he had inherited from his father.

Jawahar Singh's army was trained and led by Europeans like Madec and Samru and consisted of 15,000 cavalry, 25,000 infantry (excluding the garrisons) and 300 pieces of artillery.

[5] In 1767, Jawahar Singh marched through Jaipur territory with his whole army along with French trained battalions and artillery guns to reach Pushkar.

There, he met with the ruler of Marwar state; Vijay Singh and an agreement was signed between them to oust the Marathas, who were raiding in Rajputana following their defeat at the hands of Ahmed Shah Abdali in 1761.

Jaipur forces stood firmly against the guns of Bharatpur and finally threw themselves, with swords in hand, onto Jat army.

[8][9] The Bharatpur army thus retreated into their territory after being defeated[3] in the fierce battle which resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, death toll supposedly reaching 5,000.

According to Sarkar, the Jaipur army lost most of their important generals with death toll on their side reaching 2000–3000.

[5] According to some sources Jawahar Singh's defeat is ascribed to him insulting the Jaipur Raja by not intimating him about his motive while tresspasing through his territory.
