Although Imperial forces were able to win 52 Jat Forts including the strongholds like Khair, Jawar, Sonkh, Sogar, etc.

[9] In 1699 the Emperor sent urgent orders to Bidar Bakht to pursue and defeat the hostile force of Chhatrapati Rajaram at Surat, in the imperial territory.

Rajaram stopped in safety 8 mi (13 km) further east, while he sent back his generals under Dhanaji Jadhav to check the Prince's advance.

Two days later, the Prince was joined by Chin Qalich Khan at Barsi, 20 mi (32 km) east of Parenda, and resuming the pursuit of Ausa on 22 or 23 November.

He had to shift from Malwa to Khandesh or vice versa as the situation demanded, regarding the tribute which reached Agra from the northern provinces and had to put down the local uprisings of the Bhils and Kolis.
