 A new province named <unk> @-@ Bijapur @-@ <unk> , consisting of possessions such as Kolar , Hoskote , Bangalore , and Sira , and situated above ( or westwards of ) the Eastern Ghats range , was soon incorporated into the Sultanate of Bijapur and granted to Shahji as a <unk> , or temporary gift . The possessions below the Ghats , such as Gingee and Vellore became part of another province , named Carnatic @-@ Bijapur @-@ <unk> , whose first governor was none other than Shahji again . When Shahji died in 1664 , his son , Venkoji , from his second wife , who meanwhile had become the ruler of Tanjore farther south , inherited these territories . This twist of fate , however , did not sit well with Shivaji — Shahji 's oldest son , from his first wife — who now led an expedition southwards to claim his fair share . Shivaji 's quick victories resulted in a partition , whereby both the Carnatic @-@ Bijapur provinces became his dominions , and whereas Tanjore was retained by Venkoji . ( See Map 4 . )
