Perron reaped where Lakhwā Dādā had sown. After Lakhwā's flight, Perron arrived near Jaipur, and about 10th May made a settlement with the Jaipur Government. The Rajah agreed to pay to Sindhiā nine lakhs of rupees—namely, six lakhs within one month and three lakhs after six months. In return the Marātha troops were to vacate Jaipur territory. Perron also promised to restore Tonk-Rāmpurā to their original owner the Rajah of Jaipur, but this led to a breach with Holkar, to whom that tract belonged by right; and at last in July, Perron was forced by circumstances to conciliate Holkar's agent Dudrenec by relinquishing Tonk-Rāmpurā to him.
