Battle of Vishalgad
In July 1660 when Shivaji escaped from Panhala fort and reached Vishalgad after the Battle of Pavan Khind, he ordered Rango Narayan to attack the Adilshahi troops camping around the fort. Rango Narayan did the job up to complete satisfaction of Shivaji.
Adilshahi troops headed by Siddhi Masood, Suryarao Surve and Jaswantrao Dalavi were attacked from a hill called Gonimooth, fiercely beaten and turned back to fort Panhala by the Marathas headed by Rango Narayan. He was handsomely rewarded by Shivaji for his great performance. Later, during his coronation ceremony in June 1674, Shivaji conferred on him the honor of ‘Palkhi’ and doubled his remuneration.

Famous quotes containing the word battle:
“It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.”
—Benito Mussolini (1883–1945)
