Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c12.s1.11

v1.c12.s1.11

Ummed Singh Hādā (the dispossessed heir of Bundi) and Mādho Singh (the defeated claimant to the throne of Jaipur) met the Mahārānā at Nāthdwārā on 4th Oct. 1746, and formed plans for avenging their late defeats at the hands of Ishwari Singh. They sent agents to Kālpi to hire the troops of Malhar Rāo Holkar, offering him two lakhs of Rupees. Malhar, against the advice of his colleagues Rānoji Sindhia and Rāmchandra Bābā Shenvi, sent his son Khande Rāo at the head of a thousand horse to support these three Rājput chiefs and enforce the following demands which the allies were agreed upon, namely that Ishwari Singh should (i) cede the four parganas of Tonk Todā Mālpura and Newāi to Mādho Singh, (ii) restore Bundi to Ummed Singh Hādā on condition of his becoming an ally of Ishwari Singh in future and paying the war expenses of the Marāthas, and (iii) allow the three parganas of Nenvé Samidhi and Karwar to be held by Rāo Rajah Durjan Sāl of Kotā and Pratāp Singh Hādā (heir of Karwar.)
