G. Duff (iii. 253) gives to Sindhia's army \*twelve\* battalions of which only 7 came from the Deccan and the rest were the remnants of Perron's northern armies,—1200 to 1500 good horse, and 75 guns. Lake's Quarter-Master John Pester repeatedly notes in his Diary (18th, 24th and 27th Oct.) that he learnt from spies returned from the enemy camp that their strength was \*thirteen\* battalions. Skinner (i. 304) gives Sarwar Kh. \*fourteen\* battalions. A Marathi letter (Kharé, xiv. p. 7938) says, “Gulāb Rai Kadam and others with 2000 Deccani troopers and \*fifteen\* battalions confronted the Red faces”,—(both figures as usual inflated.) Lake's despatches put the enemy's strength at \*seventeen\* battalions. - [Previous: v4.c56.s25.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c56.s25.14) - [Next: v4.c57.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c57.3) - [Up: v4.c57](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c57) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c57.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1932.v4.c57.2) · Pramāṇa
