A History of the Mahrattas v1.c21.47

v1.c21.47

A.D. 1734.—After the defeat of Mohummud Khan Bungush, Raja Jey Sing was appointed by the Emperor to the government of the provinces of Agra and Malwa. Nothing could be more favourable to the views of Bajee Rao, but as Jey Sing was now situated, the honour of the Rajpoot was at variance with the subsisting understanding between him and the Mahrattas. This circumstance may account for his hesitating to comply with their demands, but he at last came to an agreement with Bajee Rao, yielded him the government of Malwa in the following year, and for the time the Emperor, by Jey Sing’s persuasions, tacitly acquiesced in the arrangement.¹
