On October 1661 Shahaji captured Porto Nova (today Parangipettai). These Ports were captured by Mir Jumala of Golconda but after his desertion to Mughals Sultan of Golconda claimed this lands as his while on other hand Aurangzeb claimed thess Ports. Shahaji taking the advantage of this confusion captured as many territories as he could.[1][2][3]
