The Mughals retreated to their fort at Dodderi, the Marathas chased them and began besieging them from all sides, confident that their hunger would destroy the defenders.

After he died, the command was left by General Khazand Khan, who sent Santaji terms of surrender.

Santaji kept his word and allowed them to leave the fort and buy supplies from Maratha camps.

The Mughal general, Hamid-ud-din Khan, was dispatched against Santaji and inflicted a defeat on the Marathas on February 26 near Chakargola, 26 miles north of Basavaptan.

Another Mughal general, Bidar Bakht, was ordered to relieve Basavaptan, but before he could arrive, Santaji had already withdrawn from the area.
