∗ The head was buried beneath a tower (called *Abdullah burj*) in an outwork on the south-eastern side of the lower fort. A short distance from it is the temple of Bhavani built by Shivaji. (*Bom. Gaz.* xix, 546-547.) For illustrations, see Parasnis's *Mahabaleshwar*, 143 and 144. II., 76-81, contains a maximum of mere words and rhetorical flourishes but few facts. B. S. 370 is even more meagre in details, but concise. *Jedhe S.* and *T. S.* say that Khandoji Khopde was caught and beheaded by Shivaji; but *J. Karina* (recent) alleges that he was only mutilated of one arm and one leg (by order of Shivaji.) The *Akhbarat* proves that he was beheaded. The Khan's artillery is said to have been left at Wai and captured the next day.
