Shivaji Maharaj had started capturing the forts in the jagir and the surrounding area in the Adilshahi territory. The work of founding of swaraj had gained momentum on the Konkan coast.All these matters were a challenge to the Adilshahi rule.
At that time, Badi Sahiba was looking after the administration of Adilshahi. She sent Afzalkhan, a powerful and experienced Adilshahi General, to curb Shivaji.
Afzalkhan came from Bijapur to Wai via Tuljapur, Pandharpur and Rahimatpur harassing people. A meeting between Shivaji Maharaj and Afzalkhan took place on 10th November 1659 at the foot of Pratapgad near Wai. At the meeting, Afzalkhan attempted treachery. In consequence, Shivaji Maharaj killed Afzalkhan.
Shivaji Maharaj paid compensation to the soldiers who were injured. He rewarded those who fought well. The soldiers and officers of Afzalkhan who felt in the hands of Shivaji Maharaj recieved a good treatment.
