It was not till A.D. 1670 that Shiváji made any attempt to recover them. Aurangzíb had directed the capture of Pratáp Ráo Gujar and the body of horse which were with Sultán Mázum; they escaped, and in retaliation Shiváji planned the capture of these important forts. Sinhgad was stormed after a desperate fight by a body of Máwalis headed by Tánáji Málusra, who fell in the action, and Purandhar was taken soon after with less difficulty. An attempt on Shivner failed, but Lohogad was surprised and several forts to the north of Junnar were captured by Moro Pant. - [Previous: c10.63](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.63) - [Next: c10.65](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.65) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.64) · Pramāṇa
