At the same time a fleet from Muskat appeared before Bassein and landed 600 Arabs, who plundered villages and churches and behaved with great cruelty, the garrison of Bassein not attempting to molest them. At the end of the year Shiváji with reinforcements having joined Moro Pant, the whole army marched up the Gháts towards Junnar, but after ravaging the country they returned to Ráygad in February 1675.⁸ - [Previous: c7.s8.166](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8.166) - [Next: c7.s8.168](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8.168) - [Up: c7.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8) ## Linked texts (3) - [Junnar](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.junnar) - [Bassein](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.bassein) - [Karanja](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.karanja) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8.167](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8.167) · Pramāṇa
