Therefore the Brahman Raghunath Narayan was appointed Majumdar of the entire kingdom, [91] and he was posted at Jinji, with that province under his charge. As he wanted an army for the time being, Hambir Rav, the Commander-in-Chief, was stationed (there) with his army. And the Raje set off from Jinji with the two generals Anand Rav and Manaji More and (their) regiments. He ascended the Ghats and reached above. The forts of Kolhar and Balapur were captured. The country was conquered. Some forts were built. Turbulent Palegars were destroyed and reduced to dust. That province also was placed under Raghunath Pant. General Manaji More was with his army stationed in the province of Kolhar. The Raje went to Kopal, accompanied by Anand Rav. Thence he went to Lakshmesvar. Thence he marched by stages to the province of Sampganv. There was a fort called Belvadi. There (ruled) a woman Desain. She carried off the transport bullocks of the Raje's army. The Raje learnt this news and laid siege to Belvadi, captured the fort, (and) arrested the Desain. She was punished. Then he returned to Panhala and made an enquiry about the state of the kingdom. Then every body learnt that the Raje was come. Thereupon Niraji Pant, who had been stationed with Bahadur Khan, also came to see (the Raje). And the Khan also sent jewels and robes for the Raje.
