Plot summary
Uneasy about how far Shivaji's dominion has spread, the region's Watandars and petty feudal lords ask Baji Prabhu Deshpande to rein in the young warrior's ambitions. Shivaji meets him and sets out his plan for a rule that puts the people first, and Baji Prabhu moves to his side, the two warriors bound by a mutual respect. When Shivaji strikes at the Adilshahi general Afzal Khan, the court of Bijapur is enraged, and its commander Siddi Johar marches on him with a vast force, surrounding Panhala fort where Shivaji's troops are sheltering. Shivaji decides to slip out by night with roughly 300 chosen soldiers and Baji Prabhu at their head. Siddi Johar's troops pursue them.
