v4.c47.s4.9

On 5th January 1792 the Mahārānā and the Chundāot Rāwat (both of whom bore the same name, Bhim Singh) visited Mahādji to bid him formal adieu. Sindhia greatly honoured the Mahārānā and placed Ambāji Inglé under his orders. Then he presented robes, jewels, elephants and horses to the Mahārānā, and shawls to his officers, and taking Rāwat Bhim’s hand placed it in the Mahārānā’s hand, in sign of his being henceforth under his liege-lord’s protection. Then robes were presented to all the petty chiefs and the envoys of other Rajput States present in his camp, and all were given congee. Next day, Sindhia paid a return visit to the Mahārānā, when he received the usual presents.
