c8.s5.9

Meantime, under pressure from his sovereign Adil Shah, the Rajah of Shringarpur had made a night-attack on Shivaji's detachment in Sangameshwar, but had been repulsed by the gallant Tanaji Malusaré. Shivaji now turned back northwards and conquered the Palli-vana State, conciliated and recalled the fugitive population, and restored cultivation and trade. For protecting this conquest, he fortified Chirdurg and named it Mandangarh, and built a second fort, Pálgarh.
