A History of the Mahrattas v1.c30.77

v1.c30.77

Trimbuck Rao listened to Hyder’s overtures. Negotiations began in the middle of April, when the Mahrattas were in the neighbourhood of Bangalore; and a treaty was concluded in June, by which the Mahrattas retained the ancient possessions of the father of Sivajee,¹ besides Mudgerry and Gurumconda. Hyder likewise agreed to pay thirty-six lacks of rupees, as arrears and expenses, and fourteen lacks as the annual tribute, which he in future promised to remit with regularity;—all other Mahratta demands were to cease.²
