At the same time the Marathas were disturbing the Belgaon and Dharwar districts of the Western Karnatak. On 8th October, Dhana and Santa with 7,000 men were reported to have seized some forts near Belgaon and invested the latter town itself, and to be feeding their horses on the growing crops. By the 27th, these two generals had left Belgaon to attack Dharwar, and they finally retired to Nargund (30 m. n. e. of Dharwar.) At the same time, other Maratha bands were roving in the Akluj-Indi region in north Bijapur.
