A History of the Mahrattas v1.c22.24

v1.c22.24

The operation of cannonading Jinjeera had been repeated from the time of Sumbhajee, every year the Mahrattas were in possession of Dhunda Rajepoor. Bajee Rao perceived the impracticability of reducing it, at least for many months; and as he foresaw many bad consequences from remaining in the Concan, he listened to overtures made by the besieged, entered into a treaty, by which they recognized the pretensions of Seedee Rehman, gave up half the revenues of eleven Mahals¹ to him, and ceded the forts of Raigurh, Tala, Gossala, Oochitgurh and Beerwaree to the Mahrattas.
