The Marathas put the misfortunes and weakness of the imperialists to the best account. In addition to their normal raids, Hanumant Rao* plundered the *thana* of Khatau and killed its Mughal officer Ramchand (a Maratha), 16 August, 1700. The Berad chief, Pidia Nayak, posted his infantry all over the Bijapur district levying *chauth*, while the Marathas plundered up to the very tank of Shahpur, outside Bijapur city, (*c.* 15th Nov.) Ranuji killed the Mughal thanadar of Bagehwari (30 m. s. e. of Bijapur) and looted that outpost as well as Indi (north-east of Bijapur city.)
