Option 1: To gain goodwill of Shivaji

This option suggests that the immediate aim of the Treaty of Purandar in 1665 was to gain the goodwill of Shivaji. However, this is not the correct answer. The treaty was actually aimed at sowing seeds of contention between Shivaji and the Sultan of Bijapur.

Option 2: To sow seeds of contention between Shivaji and Sultan of Bijapur

This is the correct answer. The Treaty of Purandar was signed between Shivaji and the Mughals, and its immediate aim was to create divisions and conflicts between Shivaji and the Sultan of Bijapur. The Mughals wanted to weaken Shivaji`s influence and control in the region.

Option 3: To deceive Shivaji

This option suggests that the aim of the treaty was to deceive Shivaji. However, there is no evidence to support this claim.

Option 4: To make Shivaji a puppet of Mughals

This option suggests that the aim of the treaty was to make Shivaji a puppet of the Mughals. However, this is not the correct answer. The primary aim was to create divisions between Shivaji and the Sultan of Bijapur, not to make him a puppet of the Mughals.
