v4.c69.s7.3

For some time he hid himself in the territory of the Rani of Bednur (now the Shimoga district of Mysore.) But a Mughal force under Jan Nisar Khan having invaded her country to punish her for harbouring Rajaram, she let him escape to Jinji (1st Nov.) in Madras, and then made her peace with the Emperor by paying a small fine. The Maratha captives were confined in the citadel of Bijapur, but in a short time Hindu Rao, Baharji, and some twenty other chiefs escaped from the stronghold,—a feat "which was impossible except with the connivance of their guards." (M.A., 329.) At this the Emperor put the remaining 80 prisoners to death and removed Abdullah from the subahdar-ship of Bijapur.
