Meanwhile some of Dūlobram's soldiers joined him, as did some detached soldiers from the other corps by a few at a time; so that in a little time he found himself with a good number of troops in and about the fortress. But Rhago-dji arriving a little after, besieged the castle immediately, and Dûlobram was now frightened in earnest; and being informed also that Aaly-verdy-qhan, his master, was gone on an expedition against Mustapha-qhan, he yielded to the intreaties and suggestions of the Sanyassees, who proposed to mediate an agreement; and he resolved to make himself easy, as he wanted no more than his life. With this view he held a consultation with his Commanders and officers. Some of these, out of compliment to their Governor, voted for an immediate surrender; and some thought it was too late to make any effectual resistance in so unprepared a station. But they were opposed by Mir-abdol-aziz and some others, who thought such a surrender dishonourable to their master, Aaly-verdy-qhan, and disgraceful to themselves; and they were for fighting and defending the place. Dûlobram inclined to an agreement; and he was deluded into it by his Sanyassees at last. After many days' conferences Dûlobram came out of the fortress, and went to pay a visit to the Marhatta Prince, accompanied by all his Commanders and officers, and even by a brother of Mir-abdol-aziz, who came out with ten or twelve of his men.
