Madanna Pandit, the all-powerful wazir of Abul Hasan Qutb Shah, had already made a subsidiary alliance with Shivaji, promising him an annual tribute of one lakh of hun for the defence of the realm. Prahlad Niraji, a shrewd diplomatist, had been posted at Haidarabad as Maratha envoy. Shivaji decided to get from Golkonda the expenses of the campaign and the assistance of an auxiliary force, by promising a share of the conquest. But he was careful to avoid the least show of force, and trusted to his personal magnetism and power of persuasion in winning Qutb Shah’s alliance. - [Previous: v4.c63.s19.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v4.c63.s19.23) - [Next: v4.c63.s20.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v4.c63.s20.1) - [Up: v4.c63.s19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v4.c63.s19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v4.c63.s19.24](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v4.c63.s19.24) · Pramāṇa
