Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c47.s4.1

v4.c47.s4.1

Zālim Singh visited Sindhia in his camp near Nāthdwārā, along with the Mahārānā’s envoys. After long discussions it was agreed that a tribute of 60 lakhs of rupees was to be paid by Mewār, from which 10 lakhs was deducted as compensation for the damage caused by the marching army. Zālim Singh undertook to collect this amount on condition that a part of Mahādji's army under Ambāji Inglé was to be permanently stationed in the country. A further sum of ten lakhs was laid on the chieftain of Devgarh and one lakh on the district of Banhedā. (*DY.* ii. 30 and 31, misprinted as *Barhad.*)
