v1.c21.37

Previously to invading Malwa in person, Bajee Rao had an interview with Nizam Ool Moolk, and endeavoured to induce him to advance a subsidy for the assistance he was affording; but the Nizam considered the inducement sufficiently strong without paying his auxiliaries. The districts in Candeish, by the present agreement, were to be protected by the Peishwa in his passage to and from Malwa, and nothing more than the usual tribute was to be levied in the six Soobehs of the Deccan, a proposal to which Bajee Rao readily acceded.²
