8 lakhs in cash, and 25 lakhs in gold, silver, jewels and orders on tributary chiefs. For the balance (30½ lakhs) the districts of Jawad Jiran Nimach and Morwan were set aside, to be administered jointly by the officers of the Maharana and the Peshwa. This arrangement continued till 1774. (Tod, i. ch. 16.) The Rajput version puts the indemnity at 60 lakhs for the Peshwa and 3¼ lakhs for Sindhia's secretaries; and adds that Zalim Singh was ransomed for Rs. 60,000, and Ratan S. got jagirs yielding Rs. 75,000 a year in Mandesor. Full terms in Ojha, 962-967. I follow the contemporary Marathi records.
