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:
“That we can come here today and in the presence of thousands and tens of thousands of the survivors of the gallant army of Northern Virginia and their descendants, establish such an enduring monument by their hospitable welcome and acclaim, is conclusive proof of the uniting of the sections, and a universal confession that all that was done was well done, that the battle had to be fought, that the sections had to be tried, but that in the end, the result has inured to the common benefit of all.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
