A History of the Mahrattas v1.c28.18

v1.c28.18

¹ Mahratta MSS. and Tareekh-i-Dukhin, a Persian MS. in Mr. Erskine’s library, written by Boodh Sing, a native of Lahore, at the request of Major James Browne ; a valuable little manuscript. I have not been able to ascertain the date of Jyapa’s murder, nor does Sir John Malcolm’s report give it. [The exact date of Jayappa (Jyapa) or Jayajī Sindia’s murder is still undetermined. The fort and district of Ajmēr were made over to the Marāthās by Bijāi Singh (Bejee Singh) as mund kati, or ‘blood-money,’ for the murder of Jayappa. (I.G. (1907), v. 142.)]
