Aurangzeb detained the princess in his camp, and sent to take possession in his own name of the ceded forts. He also ordered out a large force against the fort of Parnalaguer (Parnalagarh), a fortress defending the frontier of Bijapur. It is placed on an eminence and is very strong, and once before this time Sultan Mu'izz-ud-din, when attacking it, had been so badly repulsed by the bravery of its garrison that he was obliged to retreat for twenty-four hours without a halt, through fear of the enemy who were at his heels. This force went against the fortress, but Shiva Ji ( = Ram Raja) never ceased rushing about everywhere with the officers who sided with him, and everywhere succeeded in his enterprises. Finally, when the Mogul army was scattered, he came and occupied the fortress of Gingi (Jinji) in the Choromandel Karnatik, and there fixing himself, his faithful captains did not fail to operate with energy. Then, to get rid of a stone of stumbling and give an opening for those who had deserted the princess (Sambha Ji's widow) to take up the cause of Shiva Ji (i.e., Ram Raja), they played off an imposture on the impostor, and paid out the old fox with cunning equal to his own. - [Previous: 194.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194.4) - [Next: 194.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194.6) - [Up: 194](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194.5) · Pramāṇa
