v1.c19.10
The conquered forts were all given new names in the Muhammadan style by the Emperor, but those names have not survived in popular use. Satara was renamed Azam-tara, Parali Navrastara, Panhala Nabishahdurg and so on. But the conquest of Sinhagad in 1703 gave such supreme satisfaction to the Emperor’s heart that he gave it the significant name *Bakshinda Baksh*, “a reward given by the Almighty.”
