v1.c12.1
A.D. 1657.—AT the time when Aurungzebe was on the point of commencing the war against Beejapoor, Sivajee, professing himself a servant of the Emperor, entered into a correspondence with that prince, who readily listened to his overtures, assented to his keeping what he had wrested from Beejapoor, and, with the alleged right of the Emperor to dispose of that kingdom, consented to a proposal from Sivajee of taking possession of Dabul and its dependencies ¹ on the sea coast.
