New History of the Marathas v1.c18.31

v1.c18.31

Soon a Mughal force came to Pratāpgad and Rājārām had to leave it and take up his residence at Panhālā. Shaikh Nizam, the captor of Sambhājī, came against Panhālā, but was completely routed and put to flight from the foot of that fort, thereby saving Rājārām from a fate similar to that of his brother. In the meanwhile Santājī fell upon Zulfiqar Khan’s besieging army, and brought away five elephants and an amount of valuable plunder. The three Ghorpade brothers, Santājī, Bahirjī and Mālojī were rewarded by Rājārām with the respective titles of *Mamulkat-madar*, *Hindurao* and *Amir-ulumrao*, by which their descendants are still distinguished in the Deccan.
