    2. Capture of Torna: Shivaji captured the fort of Torna, one of the first forts he captured, signaling his intention to challenge the Mughals and Bijapur Sultanate.
    3. Attack on Shaista Khan: Shaista Khan was a Mughal general who was sent to defeat Shivaji. However, Shivaji orchestrated a daring attack on Pune where Shaista Khan was staying, forcing the latter to flee and causing him to lose three fingers in the attack.
    4. Annexation of Javli: Shivaji annexed the kingdom of Javli to expand his territory, defeating the ruler Chandra Rao More.

    So, all four events are closely associated with Shivaji's military campaigns and state-building efforts.
