==Battle==
===According to Massir–i–Alamgiri===
While [[Aurangzeb]] was besieging Golconda and Bijapur, Sambhaji observed from Panhala. After capturing these forts, Aurangzeb deployed Sarja Khan, a seasoned general, to the Deccan. In December 1687, the [[Marathas]], led by Hambirrao Mohite, defeated the Mughals at the Battle of Wai, though Mohite was killed.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_qI9AAAAMAAJ|title=The Rise and Fall of the Maratha Power|last=Karandikar|first=Shivaram Laxman|date=1969|publisher=Sitabai Shivram Karandikar|pages=307-310|language=en}}</ref> Following the battle, [[Sambhaji I|Chatrapati Sambhaji]] Maharaj's forces weakened, and his movements were betrayed by Soyarabai and the Shirkes to the Mughals.Too fearful to meet his foe on an open battlefield, the Mughal commander '''Muqarrab Khan''' relied on a spineless snare to secure a capture supported by [[Ganoji Shirke]], after a defeat at Samgamneshwar on 1 February 1689.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9ngBAAAAMAAJ|title=Chhatrapati Sambhaji, 1657-1689 A.D.|last=Joshi|first=Pandit Shankar|date=1980|publisher=S. Chand|pages=241|language=en}}</ref> He was captured along with his minister Kavi Kalash and 25 officers. Aurangzeb, pleased with the capture, renamed Akluj to Asadnagar.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=d1wUgKKzawoC&pg=PA47|title=Advanced Study in the History of Modern India 1707-1813|last=Mehta|first=Jaswant Lal|date=2005-01-01|publisher=Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd|isbn=978-1-932705-54-6|pages=49-50|language=en}}</ref>
===According to Futuh-i-Alamgiri===
[[Sambhaji I|Sambhaji]] grew jealous of [[Kavi Kalash|Kavi Kalash’]]<nowiki/>s growing influence and plotted with others to remove him from power, spreading lies that led to his dismissal as Diwan. Disgraced, Kavi Kalash moved to the fort of Khulna, but Sambhaji’s hostility continued, forcing him to seek refuge at the Mughal court, where the emperor rewarded him and his supporters with positions. Enraged, [[Sambhaji I|Sambhaji]] imprisoned their families and lost many followers to the imperial service, weakening his rule. When Mughal forces advanced and captured nearby forts, [[Sambhaji I|Sambhaji]], fearful and desperate, tried to reconcile with Kavi Kalash through letters, pretending regret. Outwardly forgiving, [[Kavi Kalash]] secretly planned revenge and lured [[Sambhaji I|Sambhaji]] to Khulna. Once Sambhaji arrived, Mughal commanders Ikhlas Khan and Bahadur Khan surrounded the fort. Lacking supplies and hope, [[Sambhaji I|Sambhaji]] tried to break out with a few men but was defeated after heavy fighting. Four hundred of his men were killed, and he was finally captured by imperial soldiers, while Kavi Kalash, pretending loyalty, was also “arrested” for safety.<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.131101|title=Fatuhat -i-alamgiri|last=Ahmad|first=tasneem|date=1978|pages=250–254}}</ref>
==Aftermath==
Kavi Kalash and Sambhaji, captured by the Mughals, were humiliated and paraded through the Mughal camps before being presented to Aurangzeb. He offered to spare Sambhaji’s life if he surrendered his forts, disclosed his treasuries, and revealed Mughal officers aiding the Marathas, even offering him conversion to Islam. However, Chatrapati [[Sambhaji I|Sambhaji]] Maharaj insulted [[Aurangzeb]] and [[Muhammad]], leading the Ulema to sentence him to death.Then he was tortured, blinded with red-hot irons, and beheaded on 11 March 1689 at Koregaon marking the end of resistance in the region.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Lq1flY9dSN0C|title=The Great Pioneer in India, Ceylon, Bhutan & Tibet|last=Johnston|first=Harry|date=1986|publisher=Mittal Publications|pages=252|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Eh1BAAAAMAAJ|title=Maharani Tarabai of Kolhapur, C. 1675-1761 A.D.|last=Pāṭīla|first=Śālinī|date=1987|publisher=S.
