Sindhiā was roused out of his stupor by the news that General Wellesley had seized his great arsenal and treasure-house at Ahmadnagar and also hanged the revenue-collector of his ancestral village Jāmgāon. So, he sent a force of 10,000 horse under Gopāl Bhāu, with a large Pindhāri horde to cross the Nizām’s frontier and plunder his district of Aurangabad (c. 18 Aug.). The approach of this force to the Godāvari was a direct threat to Punā. [Kharé, xiv. 6665.]
