Shivājī now obtained possession of the forts of Panhālā, Pavangarh and Vasantgarh and ravaged the country as far as the neighbourhood of Bījāpur, but in 1660 he was besieged in Panhālā by Sīdī Jauhar and compelled to seek safety in flight. ‘Alī ‘Ādil Shāh shortly afterwards entered the field in person and reduced Panhālā and Pavangarh, besides other forts already captured by Shivājī, who refrained from taking up arms against the king in person but continued his depredations in the Konkan and against Sīdī Jauhar.
