Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c53.s2.13

v4.c53.s2.13

We shall now briefly narrate what Lakhwā Dādā could do during his viceroyalty. In August 1795, he forced the fort of Sābalgarh, in the Karāuli State, south-east of the Chambal, to capitulate and then laid siege to Bijaypur (south of Sābalgarh). In October he stormed the city of Narwar from the Kachhwā Raja of Shivpuri, and next invested the fort which protected the city, but it held out till March next year. In June 1796, we find Lakhwā attacking Datiā, the Bundelā Raja of which defied the Marathas for many years. [PRC. viii. 24.]
