The Amba Ghát was blockaded in order to prevent supplies getting in by that route, and to keep the road open for the Vanjáris of the royal army. The villages were burnt, the cattle carried off, and the people generally so harried that no sign of cultivation or the name or trace of a Marátha was to be found. The siege works were pushed on till a mine was carried near the gate. For raising the earth-works camel saddles and baskets innumerable were used full of earth and rubbish and litter heads of men and feet of quadrupeds, and these were advanced so far that the garrison were intimidated.¹ Negotiations for surrender went on for a long time and at length in June 1701 after a six months' siege Parashrám the commandant hoisted the imperial flag over the fortress. He and his family went off the same night, and the rest of the garrison were allowed to leave the fort next day. Its name was then changed to Sakhkharalana.² - [Previous: c7.s8.242](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8.242) - [Next: c7.s8.244](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8.244) - [Up: c7.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8.243](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c7.s8.243) · Pramāṇa
