Mughal Emperor Shahjahan turned deaf to his appeal. In 1649 the Sultan of Bijapur released his father on the condition of Sivaji’s good behaviour. In 1656 Sivaji conquered Javali by murdering its ruler Chandra Rao who was on the side of Bijapur. He considerably increased his area secured from Torna and Javali.

His conflict with Mughals

In November 1656, Adil Shah died and the problem of succession provided an opportunity for Mughal intervention. Prince Aurangzeb advanced against Bijapur. This provided a good opportunity for Sivaji and he raided the Mughal territory of Ahmednagar and Junnar. Sultan of Bijapur made peace with the Mughals. Though Aurangzeb sent a contingent troops against Sivaji but could not take further steps against him as he left for North on hearing of Shahjahan’s illness to take part in the war of succession.

Shivaji maintained peaceful relations with the Mughal Empire.
