Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c54.s10.1

v4.c54.s10.1

Māné, after this ludicrous end of a foot-race rather than a battle, encamped at Moreshwar, twelve miles east of Jejuri and 16 miles north-west of Medad (Bārāmati), while the Peshwā's runaway troops began to reassemble under Purandarē in his new camp near Sāswād, 20 miles west of the victor's new position. Jaswant Rao, after learning of this affair, which clearly proved how worthless the Punā army was, rapidly moved south from Pārner and met Māné at Moreshwar on the 14th. But Māné's illness delayed their future plans by four or five days. On the 17th of the month Holkar visited the shrine of Jejuri, without doing any outrage there but fleecing the rich priests and traders, and halted three miles east of that holy city till the 20th.
