Fall of the Mughal Empire v3.c42.s2.47

v3.c42.s2.47

As Sindhia's representative, he had to come to a clear understanding with Shah Alam, and he had also to take full control of that large lawless and utterly convulsed capital and establish Sindhia's authority over it, as a measure of safety. The traitor's followers and secret partisans had to be hunted down, and every piece of spoil taken from the royal family and still kept in the city had to be traced and restored. This respite helped the Emperor to revive.
