v1.c11.s3.7

∗ Irvine’s statement. (ii. 284) that Jai Singh and Bāji Rāo met at Dholpur on 8th Rabi I 1149 (6 July 1736, O.S.) is impossible, as we know from the Peshwā’s records (S.P.D. xxii. 333) that he re-entered Puna on 24th June 1736. Here Irvine’s Persian authorities have made a confusion of years. A Peshwā did meet Jai Singh on 8th Rabi I, but it was in the year 1154 (=13 May 1741) and the Peshwā was Bālāji Rāo. (S.P.D. xxi. 2.)
