Their march was intentionally delayed, and when they arrived they did not act against the British Government, who were all the time kept informed that this march on Cuttack was a mere pretence. The Regent Eve assisted the march of Coloned Pearse through his provinces, when a force was being sent from Bengal against Hider Ali. This display of a conciliatory spirit towards the English happened too at a time when Bengal was denuded of troops. In 1785 Mandla and the Upper Nerbudda valley were nominally added to the Nagpur dominions by a treaty in which Mudhoji agreed to pay twenty-seven lakhs of rupees into the Poona treasury.      The Regent died in 1788, leaving all the Nagpur state tranquil and prosperous; conditions which had lasted within the present Nagpur District ever since the battle of panchgaon. He left great treasure in cash and in jewels to his family. His son Raghuji, though of age and nominally Raja, had remained during the lifetime of his able father in perfect submission and obedience. He now assumed control of the state. He went to Poona where his titles and dignity were confirmed. He also obtained for his younger brother Vyankaji the father’s title of Sena Dhurndhar, with Chanda and Chhattisgarh as an appendage. Chimnaji, the other borther, was to have had Mandla, but he died shortly after Raghuji’s return to Nagpur, very suddenly and not without suspicion of foul play. The Raja took up his residence at Nagpur, while his troops were fighting in the peshwa’s army against the Nizam and Tiu of Mysore. He participated in all the advantages gained by the Marathas in these wars, and commanded the right wing of the Peshwa’s army at the victory of Khardla.
