He took them away to Shîrpûr. The English then held a Council. They thought Khajia Naik would attack
Shirpûr, And determined to place his wives at Maly
gaon, as he would try to get them. Such was the final idea of the English: But the Ndik learnt of their plans, And heard that they had offered a reward
for his head : As a tiger dashes into a herd of cowy, 90
did Khaje Rav fall on them. He made his name famous by his fight with
the English.

Badia Sabibâne patra libile hoteà Nayakâsi : Sâtpudya sodan yâve bhoțishin. Tevhân Nayakana utr lihile tya Sahibasi : “Anand Ray Bapu Patil dhada bhetishiu. Itkyk varati marji apli, Sarkarachi khushi.”
Then the political officer wrote a letter to
the Naik, Asking him to come down from the Satpudas
and meet him. To this the Nâik wrote an answer, saying, "Let Anand Râv Pátil come and see me." All depends on your kindness and the
Governments pleasure.” So Anand Rav Pâtil came and saw him. Then the Naik came down to Shîrpûr from
the Satpâdas.
