Answer:
Shivaji's grandson Shahu appointed Balaji Vishwanath as the Peshwa or the Chief Minister.
He was an administrator and helped Shahu control the Maratha chiefs.
In course of time, the Peshwa became the real decision maker.
Balaji Vishwanath took advantage of the weakness of the later Mughals, and captured more territories.
He forced farrukhsiyar to Return all the territories which had been under Shivaji.
Besides, the marathas also got the right to collect chauth and sardeshmukhi ( types of taxes ) from six provinces in the Deccan.
