S.) ascribes all this to Khawas Khan, saying, "Khawas Khan, with 2,000 horse and many foot, being in our vicinity, Shivaji entered into his territories and easily defeated him and obliged him to retire across the [Western] Ghats, yielding Konkan. And not content with this, he passed those very rough mountains and entered the interior of the [Bijapur] kingdom to a short journey from the capital." [Pissurlencar, i. 14.]
