In the 1650s, it was ruled by Yashwantrao Moré who called himself the king of Konkan. He claimed to rule by the divine sanction of the god Mahabaleshwar (an aspect of Shiva), and had been formally recognized as the local Raje (king) by the Adil Shah.[2]
Around 1656, Shivaji - Son of Shahaji (another commander of Adil Shah) forcibly captured Jaoli in the Battle of Javali. Shivaji, who had similarly captured other territories in the area, justified his action to the Adil Shah, arguing that he governed these territories better than the deposed rulers did. However, the Adil Shah doubted Shivaji's loyalty, and sent his general Afzal Khan against Shivaji. Shivaji defeated Afzal Khan, and went on to establish an independent kingdom that evolved into the Maratha Empire.[2]
