During this period (January, 1677—March, 1678), the army left at home under Moro Trimbak in Desh and Annaji Datto in Konkan, naturally confined itself to the defence of the realm, without venturing on any distant expedition. In November 1677, however, Dattaji taking advantage of the crushing repulse of Dilir and Bahlol by the Golkonda troops (in September), roved the inland parts of Kanara and looted Hubli. Early in January, 1678, Moro Pant "plundered Trimbak, Nasik and other considerable places in the Mughal territory." Dilir Khan hastened there with the remnant of his broken army, (middle of February).
