Nothing remarkable happened in the second half of 1697, nor for some time after Rājā Rām’s return from Gingee to Vishālgarh (February, 1698). Next year, after forming plans for an extensive raid through Khāndesh and Berār, he issued from Sātārā (5 November, 1699) and took the road with a large force. But he was intercepted near Parenda by Bīdār Bakht, broken and driven towards Ahmadnagar; his raid into Berār was nipped in the bud; but one division under Krishna Sāvant crossed the Narbadā for the first time and plundered some places near Dhāmoni. Battles, however, were fought with Dhana and other generals in the Sātārā district with various results (January, 1700).
