c11.s2.19

In July the Bijapur Government ordered its governor of Phonda to join forces with the Savant of Vadi and other petty Rajahs and try to drive Shivaji's men out of Rajapur and Kharepatan. But nothing was done, as "there was juggling between them, and he remained possessed of all." (*Ibid.*, 20th July 1663, Vol. 86, Surat to Co., 20th November 1663.)
