The emperor recognised his title of \*Rājā\* and made a grant to his son Shambhūjī. In January, 1670, Shivājī broke with the Mughuls again, and by rapid strokes recovered nearly all the forts ceded by him in 1665. He plundered imperial territory in the Deccan right and left. A bitter quarrel between the viceroy Shāh ‘Ālam and his lieutenant Dilīr Khān made it impossible for the imperialists to chastise or even to check the Marāthā chief, and he looted Surat a second time (13–15 October, 1670), carrying away large booty in cash and kind and thoroughly ruining the trade of the greatest port of India. Then followed a period of the most daring and far-ranging raids into Mughul provinces—Bāglān, Khāndesh and Berār besides Aurangābād—and the capture of hill forts in the Chāndor range as well as Sālher. Mughul generals were repeatedly defeated by him in open fights, especially at Dindorī (27 October, 1670) and below Sālher (February, 1671). - [Previous: v4.c19.123](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.123) - [Next: v4.c19.125](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.125) - [Up: v4.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19) ## Cites (2) - [Chandor](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.chandor) - [Surat](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.surat) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.124](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.124) · Pramāṇa
