v4.c55.s11.2

Meantime Lakhwā Dādā, as the champion of Mahādji Sindhiā's widows, had risen against Daulat Rao's authority. But the loyal general Ambāji Inglé hired Thomas's force for half a lakh of Rupees a month, and the two together marched out of Kanud (*c.* 15 April 1799) to fight Lakhwā in Ajmir and Mewār. This campaign has been described in the history of Lakhwā Dādā (Ch. 43 § 6.) On 2nd November, Ambāji terminated the service of Thomas, who returned to Hānsi.
