When he was gone, the Viceroy sent for Mustapha-qhan, and with a deal of seriousness he informed him that his proceeding might have had very grave consequences, and was of a nature to excite Baladji-rao's resentment. "Pray, my Lord," answered the General, "is it so? Then in such a case your Highness, who is my lord and master, might have taken Rhago to task, and left the other to me; or else, your Highness may give a banging to Baladji-rao, and turn Rhago to me for a hearty flogging." All these events happened about the end of Moharrem and the beginning of Sefer, in the year 1155 of the Hedjra. And now Baladji-rao being gone, and there being no probability of Rhago-dji's recovering so soon from his loss of men and money, the Viceroy satisfied with the success of the campaign, returned to his capital; from whence he soon dismissed his youngest nephew, who was Viceroy of the Bahar; and that nobleman departed in a few days.
