We are not here concerned what the reasons were for this expedition, but will confine our remarks to Purtap Singh. He accompanied ( 15 ) the Jat forces into Jeypore territory; and when all the final arrange- ments had been made for the attack, all of which he knew, he, on the eve of the battle went over to the Jeypore side, and naturally they were greatly indebted to him for their ultimate success. It was a marked trait in Purtap Singh's character, which was exemplified in this instance, that h...e owed much of his success in life to the fact that he always sided with the strongest side. Know- ing the resources of the two armies, he wisely chose to throw in his lot with the strongest, and here also an opportunity occurred to give practical effect to his fore -thought in remaining loyal to his own Chief, and on this occasion he made the most of his opportunities. Although through the instrumentality of Purtap Singh the Kutchawas were victorious, yet the battle of Maonda was a very disastrous event for the Jeypore State, as the conflict was so des- perate, that almost every chieftain of note on the Jeypore side was killed, and this fact, culminating in the early death of the Chief him- self after the battle, marks a point from which the Kutchawa power temporarily declined.
