Again there was in the Mughal dominions the big city of Karanja. Information was procured thence, (and) the Raje himself proceeded there taking the force with him. On his way he plundered the peth of Aurangabad. Making a rapid march of seven ganvs (he) went to (and) halted at Karanja for three days, took possession of all the mansions of the city, (and) with shovels dug out (buried) treasures. After taking cash, jewels, gold, silver and rich clothes, he rode (back). The Mughal Subhas at various places, — Dilel Khan, and Bahadur Khan, Ikhlas Khan, and Bahlol Khan and Indramani (and) Omraos like these (from) different places, some with ten thousand, some with twelve thousand (forces) came on (the Raje) from (all the) four directions. He went on, fighting with them (and) offering resistance. He fought many great battles, killed the Mughals, levelled them to the dust, (and) captured and brought elephants, horses, camels (and other) property. And all the enemy's wazirs went back unsuccessful. The Raje reached his dominions in safety with his forces. Dilel Khan with twelve thousand horsemen came up and pursued him, at a distance of ten to twelve gañvs up to the banks of the Bhima. Then the Raje went to Rajgad. The spoils when valued were (found to be) worth seven krors.
