The thought of the Mughals controlling the fort was more than just enraging toShivaji Maharaj's mother,Rajmata Jijabai. The decision had been made, and at the advice of his motherShivaji Maharaj sent forTanaji Malusare while he was at his son's wedding. The mission was to recapture the fort at any cost.Tanaji Malusare rallied his troop of 1000 mavalsand marched toward the fort in February 1670.
Legend has it that Malusare used his own pet monitor lizards ( ghorpad ) to scale the hill side cliff and set ropes for his troops to climb. Malusare had to launch the attack from the south side of the fort with just 300 of his men while the rest were still at the bottom of the fort. The attack was immediately met with defensive forces that outnumbered his by an alarming amount.
When Rathod knocked the shield from Malusare's hand, Malusare was said to have removed a bit of cloth and wrap it around his defending arm to continue. The battle between the two bravehearts was said to have lasted for the better part of the attack itself, and it ended with Malusare losing his life. Saddened but only more enraged by the death of their general, the Marathas fought under Malusare's brother Suryaji Malusare with all their might and laid waste to the defending forces.
They say the victory was taken without any celebration. Upon hearing the news of the loss of his most beloved commander and dear friend, Shivaji Maharaj renamed the fort and called it Sinhagad (Lion Fort). He has been noted to have said," Gad ala pan Sinha gela. " ("We have gained the fort, but lost a lion.")
