v4.c64.s5.5

Shortly afterwards a band of 6,000 men threatened Sholapur, put the imperial qiladar, Manohardas Gaur, made a sortie and pushed them back; then the siege was raised on the arrival of Khan-i-Jahan's vanguard. Yet another Maratha force was out near Mulhir and Salhir, but Shihab-ud-din Khan, leaving his baggage at Galna, made a forced march, killed 900 of the enemy and cleared the Salhir region. (There is an unfortunate gap in the news-letters for the year 1682.)
