Explanation

The chronological sequence of events in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's life is as follows: First, the capture of Torna fort occurred in 1646, marking one of his earliest military successes at the age of nineteen [2]. Second, the annexation of Javli (Javali) took place in January 1656, which was a strategic victory that expanded his influence in the Konkan region [2]. Third, the famous encounter and attack on the Bijapuri general Afzal Khan at the foot of Pratapgad occurred on November 10, 1659. Finally, the daring night raid and attack on the Mughal governor Shaista Khan at Lal Mahal in Pune took place on April 5, 1663 [1]. This sequence (1646, 1656, 1659, 1663) corresponds to the order 2, 4, 1, 3.
