In February 1739, Chimaji Appa invested Bassein fort. Chimaji was magnanimous in victory, and surviving Portuguese were given a safe passage from the city. The last remnants of Portuguese army and administration pulled out of Vasai by 23 May 1739.

To celebrate his victory and to fulfill a vow taken in front of Devi Vajreshwari, Chimaji appa had a temple built for the goddess nearby. The Vajreshwari temple still stands there as a relic of Maratha glory.

Chimaji Appa died in 1741. The conquest of Bassein was long cherished by the Marathas as a matter of national pride and glory. (Text-source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimnaji_Appa)
