Early Life
It seems during 1659 Rango Narayan was the 'In charge' of the fort Vishalgad as Adilshahi General Afzalkhan sent a letter to him asking him to join his hands in the campaign against Shivaji. He also had given certain promises. However, Rango Narayan did not respond. Probably, he had already conspired with Shivaji because immediately after Afzalkhan's death and defeat Shivaji attached the fort to the proposed Maratha Empire in November, 1659. In the same year, Shivaji wrote a letter to Udhaji Ahir Rao, the then Killedar of the fort Vishalgad, ordering him to handover the charge of Karkhanisi to Rango Narayan. The sequence of incidences proves that Rango Narayan helped Shivaji for capturing the fort.
