c13.s9.2

Shivaji placed the fort of Jinji in charge of a Mavle captain named Rayaji Nalgé, and the surrounding district under Vital Pildev Atré Garadkar as governor, assisted by a sabnis and a caretaker of buildings. The military and revenue administration of Maharashtra was transferred here without any change. [Malkaré, 80.] He "constructed new ramparts round Jinji, dug ditches, raised towers and bastions, and carried out all these works with a perfection of which European skill would not have been ashamed." [Andre Freire, S. J., in Mission du Madure, iii. 271.]
