After a halt of five days here, the march was resumed on 23rd July, and Vadgaon (13 miles east of Panhala) was reached on the 30th. Here a month's halt was made, while a suitable camping ground was being searched for. It was decided to cross the Krishna near Miraj (40 m. e. of Panhala.) The river was in high flood. The incessant rain had turned the roads into quagmires. The 18 miles leading to the river's bank took 16 days to traverse, and many men and beasts sank down in the mud before reaching it. The Krishna was crossed in eight days (19-26 September.) Then, by way of Miraj, Daflapur, Bhalavani, Akluj, and Indapur, the army reached Bahadurgarh or Pedgaon on the northern bank of the Bhima, on 13th November.
