He was a man of extraordinary vigour, intelligence and diplomatic astuteness. Like his father, he was also a close ally of Patiala and joined hands with Bibi Sahib Kaur`s troops in 1794 against the Marathas. He was mainly responsible for checking the advance of George Thomas towards Sikh territories and later on of General Perron of the Maratha service.
