Burhanpur was a major trade center connecting southern and northern India. There were a total of 17 trade centers in Burhanpur. On 30 January 1681, commanders Hambirrao Mohite and Sambhaji suddenly attacked Burhanpur. At that time the Subedar of Burhanpur was Khanjahan. For the protection of Burhanpur there was only an army of 200 and Hambirrao had an army of 20,000. The Mughals did not even have the strength to oppose Hambir Rao's army. The Marathas looted all the trade centres of Burhanpur for three days. Marathas got assets worth more than 1 crore hons in this battle.<ref name="Indrajit Sawant 1">{{Cite book|last=Sawant|first=Indrajit|title=Marathyanche Swatantrayuddha Bhag 1 - Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj|publisher=|year=|isbn=|location=|pages=}}</ref><br />
