A History of the Mahrattas v1.c29.28

v1.c29.28

Nizam Ally encamped at a short distance from the city, and allowed his army to plunder it; after which all houses not ransomed were torn down or burned. He next proceeded towards Poorundhur, and thence ravaged the country as far east as the Beema; but the violence of the rains was such as to induce him to adopt the resolution of cantoning his army until the opening of the season. For this purpose he intended to have gone to Beder, but Janojee Bhonslay persuaded him to alter the destination to Aurungabad.
