v1.c21.28

Bajee Rao readily acceded to the Nizam's views; it suited his favourite policy, and it gave employment to persons likely to disturb the domestic arrangements he aimed at establishing. Troops were immediately dispatched towards Malwa under his brother Chimnajee, whilst he himself remained for a time engaged in the interior arrangements of government at Poona and Satara. Such appear to have been the rise and progress of the events and intrigues, which ended in a secret compact between Bajee Rao and Nizam Ool Moolk, securing to the former supremacy as Peishwa and to the latter a kingdom in the Deccan.
