Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c56.s1.13

v4.c56.s1.13

Near the end of September Perron followed by Ambājī arrived at Delhi and had his audience with Shah Alam II. Early next month the two marched from Delhi, first to settle the Rewāri-Narnaul district belonging to the military fief of Filose, and then to advance to Jaipur and meet Lakhwā Dādā for concerting the means of collecting its Raja’s tribute long overdue to Sindhiā. Perron offered to effect a reconciliation between Lakhwā Dādā and Ambājī, his displaced predecessor in the viceroyalty of Hindustan. On 27th October, the three chiefs met together at Muazza-mābād, and their quarrel was settled on terms which have been described in chapter 43, § 6. Thus Perron was allowed to keep the forts of Delhi, Agra and Aligarh, until Daulat Rao’s final decision should be known.
