After Raghuji Bhonslé had come to Daulat Rao's camp, there were endless discussions between the two allies, but no action. Jaswant Rao Holkar though appealed to for joining a pan-Marātha confederation against the English, knew the weakness of Sindhiā's council and army and had no faith in Daulat Rao's promise of restoring the Holkar possessions. So, like the realist in politics that he was, he withdrew to his own capital, after getting hold of his nephew, the child Khāndé Rao, and left Sindhiā to his fate.
