v2.c15.s13.8

The Emperor was highly displeased when these facts were reported to him. He wrote to Jai Singh blaming Nandalal for "having called in the Mahrattas—Malhar Holkar and Ranuji Sindhia—by sending wakils to them, and established them in Malwa with his full support, after giving up to death thousands of men—his own brothers, sons and chiefs.'' He also accused Jai Singh of having instigated this treasonable surrender of the province, and then proceeded, ''Never mind. Revenge will be taken for it. The Mahrattas came to Malwa on three other occasions but fled beaten. So this time, too, they will meet with similar chastisement and be expelled. Take care! The date has been fixed for the starting of the expedition from here.''
