Flushed with their victory over Afzal Khan (10 November, 1659) and the destruction of his army, the Marathas poured into South Konkan and the Kolhapur district, capturing the fort of Panhala, defeating another Bijapuri army, and making extensive conquests (Dec., 1659—Feb., 1660). But in the following March, Shivaji was called upon to meet a dangerous attack on his own dominions by a combination of the most powerful of his enemies.
