The Battle of Panipat
Nanasaheb lost his cousin, Sadashivrao Bhau (the son of Chimaji Appa), and his eldest son, Vishwasrao, at the Third Battle of Panipat. He could not recover from the shock, and died soon after probably from a consumptive illness. He was succeeded by his second son, Madhavrao Peshwa who restored the glory of Maratha Empire.

And the shrill neighs of destriers in battle rejoicing,
Spiked breast to spiked breast opposing!”
