A History of the Mahrattas v2.c33.39

v2.c33.39

After Narrain Rao’s murder and Rugoba’s accession to the office of Peishwa, Govind Rao’s claim was again recognized, and prior to Rugoba’s departure for the Carnatic, whilst his army was encamped at Kulburga, Govind Rao was invested as Sena Khas Kheyl, and immediately set off for Guzerat, in order to endeavour to wrest the government from Futih Sing. From that time the two brothers had been in a state of constant warfare until Rugonath Rao’s arrival, who, as already noticed, found Govind Rao engaged in the siege of Baroda.
