c8.s2.5
When the news of Jauhar’s treacherous coquetting with Shivaji reached the ears of Ali Adil Shah, that king burst into anger, and left his capital (on 5th August) for the Panhala district in order “to punish both the rebels.” He halted at Miraj and sent his vanguard towards Panhala. Jauhar now found that his master could not be befooled any longer. So, he made the Marathas at last give up Panhala to him (on 22nd September), and put an end to the long siege. The fort was soon afterwards handed over by Jauhar to the agents of Adil Shah.
