A History of the Mahrattas v1.c25.71

v1.c25.71

In the meantime, Momin Khan had been endeavouring to establish his authority, but the deputy of Abhee Sing, a native of Marwar named Ruttun Sing Bhandaree, continued to dispute the possession of Ahmedabad, until at last Dummajee, after making a treaty and exchanging turbans with Momin Khan, sent a force along with him, under an agent named Rungajee, to expel Ruttun Sing. They were repulsed in an assault, but Ruttun Sing at last capitulated. Rungajee and Momin Khan obtained possession of Ahmedabad about the 20th of May, 1737,¹ and an equal share of the authority and the revenue was assigned to the Moghuls and the Mahrattas, which, as might have been expected, occasioned constant disputes.
