³ [‘The Bhāu was finessing in the hope of extricating himself from a position which was becoming more and more embarrassing.’ The habit of continuing negotiations in the midst of war through the medium of vakīls or agents was common among the Marāthās and other Indian belligerents. Wellesley highly resented this practice; and his brother Arthur, in the Mahratta war, put a summary stop to it.’ (Owen, Fall of the Moghul Empire, p. 245.)]
