Strategically important forts, which were fortified with garrisons, such as Sinhagad, Purandar, Lohagad, Karnala, and Mahuli were turned over to the Mughal empire.

[citation needed] At the time of this treaty, the Nashik region, that contained the forts Salher and Mulher, was firmly in the Mughal Empire's hands since 1636.

[citation needed] Senapati Prataprao Gujar and Anandrao along with an army of 15,000 captured the Mughal forts Aundha, Patta, Trimbak and attacked Salher and Mulher in January 1671.

He ordered Moropant who was in South Konkan, and Prataprao-Anandrao who were raiding near Aurangabad to meet and attack the Mughals at Salher to relieve the fort.

[15][16] 6,000 horses, an equal number of camels, 125 elephants, and an entire Mughal train were captured by the victorious Maratha Army.

Approximately a dozen Maratha sardars were gifted for their remarkable achievements in the battle and the three officers (Moropant Pingle, Prataprao Gujar & Anandrao) were specially rewarded.

[citation needed] Most of Shivaji's victories until this battle had been through guerilla warfare, but the Maratha's use of light cavalry on the Salher battlefield against the apparently superior Mughal forces proved effective.
