A History of the Mahrattas v1.c18.137

v1.c18.137

Some of the Moghul officers were anxious to negotiate a peace; and the favourite son of the Emperor, Kaum Bukhsh, whose plans were early directed to the establishment of an independent kingdom at Beejapoor, and who in his views seems always to have had some injudicious scheme of conciliating the Mahrattas by admitting a part of their claim, now contrived to obtain the Emperor's consent for opening a negotiation with Dhunnajee Jadow.
