In A.D. 1762 quarrels arose between the Peshwa Mádhav Ráo and his uncle Raghunáth; and the latter, in order to gain the help of the Nizám, agreed to restore the remainder of the districts ceded in A.D. 1760. A treaty was made to that effect at Pedgaon, but as the quarrels in the Peshwa's family were adjusted, the treaty was not carried out. Consequently in A.D. 1763 the Nizám marched on Poona and burnt it. As he retired he was overtaken by the Maráthás; and part of his army was attacked by them at Rákshasbhuvan on the Godávari and cut to pieces. After this defeat the Nizám came to terms and confirmed the former cessions.
