Here a small Mughal force, only 3,000 strong, under Ismail, had been operating since April last and had occupied a part of the country, though the important cities and forts (like Kalian) remained unconquered. These gains had been placed under a faujdar named Salabat Khan Deccani, with a contingent of friendly Marathas, among whom Babaji Bhonslé, Raghuji, Shambhuji Kavji and Babaji Ram (or Rana) Honap,—a former deshpande of Puna,—are named. \[A.
