His nearest associates, the Bhil and Lohia tribals, had taken a vow that until their motherland was not freed, they would not eat in metal plates, but only on leaves they would not sleep on bedsteads, but only on the ground and they would renounce all comforts. Later on he recovered all Mewar except Mandalgarh and Chittor. A little later, in October, Akbar himself marched in person in pursuit of the Rana, but the latter remained untraced and unsubdued. In the darkness of the evening, the wounded Rana left the field on his favourite horse Chetak.
