v3.c37.s3.8

During 1799 though Nana continued to be the ostensible minister, he had neither the will nor the strength to take any responsible part in the administration ; nor were the two youths disposed to give weight to his advice. He knew that his hoarded treasure alone was their object. The minister, therefore, occupied himself during that year in handling some second rate subjects, the settlement of the affairs of Amritrao, of the Sindian ladies, of the two Chhatrapatis and so on.
