A History of the Mahrattas v1.c17.98

v1.c17.98

Khan Jehan, on hearing of this inroad, moved from Aurungabad in pursuit, but in place of marching to Chandore or Unkye-Tunkye² to cut off their retreat, which he might have done, he crossed the range of hills at the Ajunta pass and wheeled round to the left, but he never came within five marches of the Mahrattas. After having followed them to a considerable distance to the southward, he received orders to place *Thannas* in the country between Joonere and Singurh, whilst the young prince Kaum Bukhsh was sent to cover Burhanpoor.
