v2.c28.s12.50

Raghunāth Rāo Dādā came to north Malwa, and was joined by Malhar Holkar and Mahadji Sindhia near Bhānder (*c.* 24 April.) But Malhar died a month later and Mahadji was thoroughly antagonized by Dādā, so Raghunāth’s efforts against Gohad failed like all his other campaigns. “After having long and uselessly attacked Gohad, Raghunath threatened Jawahir, who, proud of his success against Malhar, decided to turn the storm away by going in person to the aid of Gohad and encountering the Marathas beyond the Chambal. Recovering from a dangerous malady, he marched to Dholpur a second time for opposing Raghunath, . . . but the discovery of a treasonable collusion of his valued Gosain generals with the Marathas, obliged him to make peace.”
