Hambirrao won major provinces of Venkoji such as Jagdevagad, Kaveripattam, Chidambaram, and Vriddhachalam. Venkoji was very upset that Shivaji Maharaj captured his states. On 6 November 1677, the battle started in Venkoji and Hambirrao. Venkoji seemed to win in battle, but later Hambirrao suddenly attacked Venkoji's army and won the defeated battle. After two months Shivaji Raje's intervention ended the fight.
