v4.c47.s1.18

Mahādji Sindhia before his death had left two armies of his own in Jaipur to assist its Raja in asserting his authority over his vassals; one under Jivā Dādā Bakhshi assisted by De Boigne’s Third Brigade, to recover the lost villages and forts from the usurping Rao Rajah of Alwar (Macheri), and the other army under Apa Khāndé Rao to keep order in Mewāt and collect revenue from the Shekhāwati vassals of Jaipur, half of the royal dues from them having been assigned to Sindhia by the last treaty.
