The majority of the ministers desired to put Rám Rája on the throne; and Sambháji, who managed to get possession of Panhála, was besieged there by Janárdan Pant Sumant. He contrived, however, to win over a body of the besieging troops, surprised Janárdan Pant in Kolhápur, and being joined by Hambir Ráo Mohita and others of the ministers, he marched to Ráygad, which surrendered. He now revenged himself savagely on his opponents, putting to death Rám Rája's mother Soyrábai Sirké and several officers, and throughout his reign his cruelty and violence made him an object of dislike to his countrymen. Nor did intrigues against him cease. In A.D. 1681 a plot was formed by members of the Sirké family, to which Rám Rája's mother had belonged. In this Annáji Dattu, the Pant Sachiv, and Báláji Auji Chitnis being implicated, both of these old servants of Shiváji were executed. - [Previous: c10.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.67) - [Next: c10.69](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.69) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.68) · Pramāṇa
