v2.c30.31

Early in May 1761 Gangadhar Yashvant on behalf of Holkar reported to the Peshwa, “before departing for his homeland, the Shah gave definite instructions in the presence of Hingne, to Shuja-ud-daula and his Ruhela allies, that he had effected a lasting peace with the Peshwa and that they all should respect the latter’s authority, which course alone would benefit them most.” The Peshwa cordially accepted the Shah’s proposal of deputing Yakub Ali to Poona with Hingne for fixing up the definite terms of a lasting peace.⁶
