"According to Sabhasad Bakhar , a historical narrative in Marathi that chronicles the heroic exploits of Shivaji and his successful wars and raids, the battle of Salher is described such: āAs the ļ¬ghting began, such a (cloud of) dust arose that for a space of a three-kilometer square, friend and foe could not be distinguished. Elephants were killed. Ten thousand men on the two sides became corpses. The horses, camels, elephants (killed) were beyond counting. A ļ¬ood of blood streamed (in the battleļ¬eld). The blood formed a muddy pool and in it (people) began to sink, so (deep) was the mud.ā"
