v1.c11.s3.8

The campaign in Bhadāur, the ravage of the Gangetic doab in March 1737, Sādat Khan's defeat of Malhar and Satvoji Jādav at Jālesar on 13th March—which according to the Marāthā despatches was greatly exaggerated by the imperialists, Bāji Rao's cavalry dash upon the environs of Delhi and sack of Kālka-devi (30th March), the terror of the capital and Court, the rout of the imperialists at Tāl Katorā, the *wazir's* victory at Bādshāhpur (31st March), the sudden retreat of Bāji Rāo to Rājputānā, the coming of the Nizām to the Emperor's aid (2nd July), his fight with Bāji Rāo near Bhopāl (December), and the humiliating treaty made by him with the Marāthas at Dorāha,* have been described in detail in Irvine's *Later Mughals*, ii. 286-306, on the basis of the Persian authorities, with information from the Marāthi sources then available added by me in the form of notes to that work.
