v1.c9.s32.3

When they came to the Rana of Udepur's country, some villages and a great deal of sugar-cane were plundered by the men of the army. Soon afterwards a Brahman sent by the Rana arrived with presents and cash. Strict orders were then issued to refrain from injuring the crops. On the contrary, when they passed into the lands of Rajah Jai Singh Sawai, the offering brought by one of his principal officers was refused, while many villages with their crops and cattle were pillaged by the camp-followers. Even the women and children of the cultivators were looked on as lawful plunder and carried off. [K. K. 803.]
