A.D. 1685.—Sumbhajee’s troops in the Concan, under the command of Humbeer Rao, apprised of the exposed state of Candeish, were secretly reinforced by several detachments and moved off to the northward. They suddenly appeared at Burhanpoor,¹ plundered it of much property and riches for several days, and retired as rapidly as their heavy loads would permit, leaving the whole country in their route from Burhanpoor to Nassuck in a blaze.
