His leadership marked a significant period for the Maratha Empire, as he worked to consolidate power and expand territory. Sahu II faced challenges, including internal conflicts and wars with rivals, but he is remembered for his contributions to governance and administration in the empire, which laid the groundwork for the Maratha resurgence in subsequent years.
