And what added to the terror of the inhabitants was, that by this time it became known that all along his passage he had exacted contributions; and that whoever had paid with a good grace, had had his person, lands, and country, spared; but that whoever had pretended to stand upon his defence, had not failed of having his person plundered, his country ruined, and his tenants put to the sword. Such was the fate which availed a nobleman called Ahmed-qhan, who was grandson to Daöod-qhan, Coreishy, and held in fief the two districts of Incha and Gow in the province of Azim-abad, where he lived in Daöod-nugur, a town which had been founded and peopled by his grandfather. This man thinking that the Marhatta General, intent on going to Aaly-verdy-qhan's assistance, would not lose any time in forming sieges, took shelter in Ghöoss-gur, a fort which he had built and fortified himself, close to Daöod-nugur, and where he retired with his family, troops, and all the merchants and moneyed men of the country, resolved to stand upon his defence, and to pay no contribution. Baladji-rao, informed of this, sent troops to chastise the man, and to destroy his fort. The troops advancing first against Daöod-nugur, sacked and burned it to the ground; and then made use of the bricks and other materials to fill up the ditch of the Fort of Ghöoss-gur, which was close to it, and which they besieged immediately.
