Ballajee Wishwanath instilled some vigour into his councils, and began to take a lead in public affairs. He proposed to reduce Dummajee Thorat, and set out for that purpose; but he was seduced to a conference, treacherously seized and thrown into confinement, together with his friend Abbajee Poorundhuree, his two sons, Bajee Rao and Chimnajee, and several of their immediate retainers. - [Previous: v1.c19.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.64) - [Next: v1.c19.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.66) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v1.c19.65) · Pramāṇa
