In 1668 the court of Bījāpur purchased peace with the emperor by the cession of the fortress and district of Sholāpur, which yielded 180,000 *hūns* of annual revenue, and compounded with Shivājī for an annual payment of 300,000 rupees instead of permitting him to levy *chauth* and *sardeshmukhī* by his own agents, and the new king of Golconda undertook to pay him an annual sum of half a million rupees on the same account.
