The gathering danger called Mahādji from Mathurā to the scene. He arrived at Sambhar about 7th December 1790, and here the agents of Jaipur met him to negotiate for peace by the payment of contribution. The old minister Khush-hāli Rām Bohrā (friendly to Sindhia) had been degraded a year before.* The new favourite Rodoji Khawās waited on Mahādji on 8th February 1791, and agreed to pay a total of 17 lakhs,—namely 15 lakhs for Sindhia and two lakhs for his ministers. One lakh was paid in banker's bills, and for providing the balance the envoy left for Jaipur on the 16th.
