v4.c54.s5.30

Reaching Ujjain on 19th November 1801, Daulat Rao encamped at Datta’s Akhārā, in the environs without entering the city. But in less than a month he was driven out of the place by the famine and pestilence raging in and around it. Resuming his march on 12th December, he moved about in Malwa, via Samhāten, Sānver, Dhār, Badhnāwar and Kachraud, till he returned to his camp outside Ujjain on 28th December at the end of that year, to begin that momentous march to the South which ended only with his defeat by General Wellesley in 1803.
