In January 1718, Jai Singh wrote to the Emperor that Churaman, despite his being reduced to hard suaits. was not inclined to yield, as he was receiving support from the Court. Indeed, Churaman had offered a present of twenty lakhs of Rupees to Saiyid Abdullah Khan and a peshkash of thirty lakhs of Rupees to the Government, in case the campaign was called off. Abdullah Khan saw in the offer an opportunity to bring discredit to Jai Singh, and to win over the Jats to his side. He, therefore, represented to tire Emperor that when Churaman was willing to submit and to attend the Court with his sons and nephews, there was no point in continuing the siege which had already dragged on for about twenty months and had cost the exchequer a good deal of money. t-o To the conditions on which Churaman's submission was to be accepted, the Emperor now added two more the dismantling of the fortifications of Thun, Deeg and other forts, which were not to be rebuilt in future, and service by Churaman and his sons and nephews, in subah Agra.To Farrukhsiyar it must have appeared right to call off the campaign on these terms which fulfilled the main objective with which it was undertaken
