Anand Rao, penetrating further into Kanara, robbed the bazar (peth) of Sampgaon, about 20 miles from Bankapur, in Bahlol's jagir, capturing 150,000 hun worth of booty (23 March.) Thence he set out on return with 3,000 ox-loads of plunder. Bahlol and Khizr Khan, with 2,000 cavalry and many foot-soldiers, tried to intercept him near Bankapur, but were defeated after a desperate battle and put to flight with the loss of a brother of Khizr Khan. Anand Rao robbed the entire Bijapuri army, captured 500 horses, 2 elephants, and much other prize. (March, 1674.)*
