In A.D. 1760 the fort and province of Bijapur were ceded to him by Nizam Ali. He thus became the master of the whole of the Southern Maratha Country except the portions which belonged to Kolhapur. To check the latter state the fort of Miraj and a saranjam were bestowed in 1761 on Govind Hari Patvardhan, who had distinguished himself at the siege of Savanur. Two years later, when the attacks of Haidar Ali of Seringapatam had to be provided against, territory yielding a revenue of upwards of twenty-five lakhs of rupees was granted in saranjam to the Patvardhan. The grant comprised not only the territory occupied by the existing Patvardhan states of Sangli, Miraj, Kurundvad, and Jamkhandi, but also several districts now included in the collectorates of Satara, Belgaum and Dharwar, which during the last half century have passed into the hands of the British Government by cession or lapse.² Besides the territory assigned in saranjam the Peshwa subsequently granted to the Patvardhan family the districts of Chikodi and Manoli, which belonged to, or at all events were claimed by the raja of Kolhapur. During the next fifty years these districts seldom or never remained ten years continuously in the hands of one master, but went backwards and forwards between Kolhapur and the Patvardhan and the Nipani chief till, in the early part of the present century, they passed into the hands of the British Government under the circumstances narrated in the historical sketch of Kolhapur. - [Previous: c11.95](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.95) - [Next: c11.97](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.97) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.96](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.96) · Pramāṇa
