The relief afforded by Bhāskar Pant's flight was not of long duration. His master, Raghūjī Bhonsle, came in person from Nāgpur to establish his claim to the *chauth* and *sardeshmukhī* of Bengal. Following the same route as Bhāskar Pant he arrived in the neighbourhood of Murshidābād in March, 1743. But Bālājī Rāo Peshwā, receiving from the emperor a promise of the arrears of *chauth* due from Bihār and the government of Mālwā, arrived at Murshidābād when Raghūjī Bhonsle was encamped between Katwā and Burdwān.
