v3.c41.s1.7
From the Rewāri district Mahadji made a vain attempt to bring the Emperor over to his own side by sending Ambāji Inglé on an embassy to Delhi (14th Nov.) and another equally futile effort to raise Ismail Beg's siege of Agra (15-18 Dec.) At last, abandoning all field operations north of the Chambal, Mahadji retired beyond that river (20th Dec.) and encamped on the south bank of the Kumāri brook, 28 miles north of his stronghold of Gwalior. He had now no Maratha force in the north, execept those shut up in Agra and Aligarh.
