Early in 1798, Thomas occupied Hānsi, and after a short sharp attack on Kānhori, gained possession of the whole southern portion of Hariānā, gradually extending his rule northwards to the Ghaghar river and northwards to the Bhāti frontier. At its best his new principality contained 14 parganas consisting of 253 villages, with a nominal rent roll of Rs. 2,86,000. In addition, he held from the Marāthas on service-tenure five parganas consisting of 151 villages and a nominal revenue of Rs. 1,44,000; these were Jhajhar, Bairi, Mandauti, Pataudi and Badli.
