The Maratha-Mysore War ended after the final conflict during Mysore's successful siege of Bahadur Benda in January 1787, and the Marathas settled for peace with the kingdom of Mysore, to which Tipu Sultan obliged with the signing of the treaty of Gajendragad in April 1787. Tipu who was desperate to focus on defending Mysore from the British agreed to pay an annual tribute of 12 lakhs per year to the Marathas, to end hostilities with them, which would allow him to focus on his rivalry with the British.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Hasan |first1=Mohibbul |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hkbJ6xA1_jEC&pg=PA105 |title=History of Tipu Sultan |publisher=Aakar Books |year=2005 |isbn=9788187879572 |edition=Reprint |location=Delhi}}</ref><ref name=Naravane>{{Cite book |last=Naravane |first=M.S. |title=Battles of the Honorourable East India Company |publisher=A.P.H.
