lATace marAThI aitihAsika lekha / SEPS RED PREFACE 1. After collecting inscriptions relating to the Chaulukyas of Vatapi, Bengi, Kalyan, Navsari, Nandipur and Patan and after making a critical examination of all these collected inscriptions in various parts of 'Chalukya Chandriks' we were tempted to write & Comprehensive History of Chiulu'ya 3,-based on these inscriptions and corroborated by Historical writings of their contemporary dynasties and bring it down to the present date. This desire of ours required us to get into touch with the modern branches of the Chaulukyan dynasties, so, we, before geting into touch with present houses, indulged ourselves in the study of history relating to the various Chaulukyan principalities. 2. At the outset, we got a rude shock when it was found that every house of Chaulukyas was declaring its descent from, and claiming a direct lineal connection with Mulraj the founder of Patan House, Besides, their traditional history baseioa Barlic go33ip3, was a puzzle to 1 apathy of Chaulukyan princes regarding their history and their insistence on sticking to Bardic tradition and legendary history carried to them from generation to genertion, were barriers far more unsurmountable, than the Himalaya. 3. However, we got an opportunity to talk over our contemplated work with our friend Thakur Jaivant Sing, Bhadur of Sanand, in Ahmedabad district, who showed his interest and asked us to show him the manuscript. Accordingly we enjoyed his hospitality for a month and a half and discussed almost all the points freely. When we asked permission to bid farewell, he asked us to see His Highness Maharaja Indra Singji Bahadur of Bansda with a letter from him,

4. We reached Bansda in the end of January 1934 and was given opportunity to present the letter in person to His Highness. The revelation of the subject stated therein in the letter of Thakur Jaivant Sing Bahadur, was a great surprise to us. His Highness's eager response and willingness to know all about the history of his line irrespective of corroborotion or otherwise of the prevalent tradition of his House exceeded our expectation. After a few days of our stay at Bansda, a series of consultation and discussion followed one after another for several days. We frankly criticised the prevalent tradition and showed the hollowness of the claim for a descent from Patan House. Our firmness in sticking to our stand taken was very much appreciated by His Highness, the ultimate result of which was that we were asked to investigate historical data relating to the history of Bansda House. We accepted to undertake work, provided we were given a free hand and were not to be asked to write anything contrary to the findings of our investigation. Besides, for maintaining our independance we waved aside the ion of service in the State, which in our humble opinion would have proved a check to our free thoughts and writings. 5. After search at several places we reported that unless investigations were made in the Marathi and English records kept in the Poona Daftar and the Bombay Secretariat, there was no chance to connect the broken links of the genealogy and history of the Bansda . Chaulukyas. 6. The British sense of respect for antiquity and the importance of the preservation of ancient records have resulted in the upkeep of the Peshwa Daftar at Poona, where old Marathi records . relating to the historical events of the Peshwa's times and other matters are hoarded. At the instance of Government R. B. Vad, compiled several volumes of Diaries about a quarter century ago. Government about four years ago published about 45 volumes consisting of original records with a short summary in English. 7. No private indiviuals were allowed access to these records formerly but the gate is now thrown open for genuine Historical Research Scholars. Ever since Government permitted research workers, various private individuals and States have taken advantage and Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com

Page #8
carried researches in the Daftar. Several volumes have been written by now which have given a turn to the accepted version of several events of Maratha History. Besides, several institutions are publishing books relating to Maratha History. 8. After securing the Permission of the Commissioner, to examine the records, we began our investigation in the Poona Daftar in October 1934, and finished the same in March 1935; but the papers were actually released long afterwards. The fruits of our researches in the Peshwa Daftar, in the Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal and in the collections of private individuals, which throw immense light on the history of Bansda Chaulukyas during the Martha period have been gleaned and put togethr in our present volume. The scattered beads of historical events relating to the Bansda Chaulukyas could now be put together in a systematic arrangent. 9. Finally it is cur pleasant task to acknowledge the genrous help we received from Government officials and various friends in our work. We cannot allow this opportunity to pass without mentioning the name of Mr. Hyam S. Israel, B. A. J. P. who was all courteous and ever willing to assist us in our search. 10. Besides, the staff of the Poona Daftar, we owe a sense of gratitude to Rao Saheb G. S. Sirdesai, the Editor of selections from the Peshwa's Daftar, and Mr. D.V. Potdar and Mr. Shankar Rao Joshi Secretary and workes respectively of the Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal who assisted us with their intimate knowledge of Maratha history and gave us valuable suggestions in our work, Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com

INTRODUCTION 1. The title "LATACHE MARATITI AITIHASIK LEKH" of our present compilation indicates that Marathi records pertaining to the History of Lat are incorporated herein. A few words regarding the territory known as Lat, will therefore, be not out of place, Looking into the ancient division of Western India, we find that the portion at present known by the naine of Gujarat, North and South, was known as Anart and Lat respectively. It was after the advent of Gurjars that the portion was called Gujarat after them. 2. The word Gujarat is not to be found in any of the Puranas or Dharma Shastres of the Hindus. Taking advantage of the absence of this name, European writers as well as their faithful Indian devotees, have attempted to build inferences too flimsy to stand the test of critical analysis. We cannot agree with them wholly and solely but will certainly accept, at least the force of their argument, so far as the Gurjars, who gave the name to the country, are concerned. Even a partial perusal of numerous inscriptions and historical writings of various authors ranging from 4th century down to the present age will convince any zealous student that the existence of the Gurjars cannot be traced beyond 6th century A. D. The first mention of the Gurjars is found in the military expedition of Prabhakar Vardhan of Shrikanth (Thaneshwar) and the second is found in the Jain Prashasti of Aihole, dated 556 Shak, i. e, 634 A. D. 3. If twenty-five years time is allowed for Prabhakar's reign, the existence of the Gurjars will hardly go back to 580 A. D. but we have reasons to believe that the appearance of the Gurjars on the polical arena of the country known as Gujarat, can be easily pushed backward for at least a century. Before that, the country, at present known as South Gujarat, is found mentioned as 'Lat'. The Hindu Puranas are silent on the Point and no trace can be found out in them of Lat. We find that Vatsayan in his 'KAMSOOTRA' speaks at a great length of the character of 'Lat' women. After that, Lat is mentioned loosely in almost all historical writings, Shila Prashasti, and Shasanas. Some of the European writers have tried their best to derive Lat from Ratt or Rata and others from Laric of Ptolemy. Some more sensible writers have given more attention to the geographical interpretation than

Page #10
literary on 21 hivaste nyte i to establish the derivation of Lat from Ratha, a pargana situated between Bagad, Malva and present Southern and Northern Gujarat. As Vatsayan is admittedly of 3rd century A. D. so the mention of Lat cannot go beyond his date. Besides, we have got concrete evidence to establish that the Country known to the Hindus as 'Anarta' included in it most part of South-Gujarat or Lat. The Southern Portion of South Gujarat or Lat was included in 'Aparant' better known as 'North-Konkan'. Some of the Puranas put another Country between 'Anarta' and 'A parant' as 'Parant'. So the boundry of ' Aparant' and Anarta' was a disputed one during the time of Puranas. But historical evidence proves that the demarcational line between Anrat and Aparant was the river Karbena. The name Karbena itself is a matter of dispute as various variants are found in historical writings ranging from 1st to 13th century, A.D. We have dealt with them in detail, in our book entitled 'Chaulukya Chandril III. Lat Basudevpur and established beyond the least shadow of doubt that Karbena, Kalbena, Kulbena Kalbeni, Kulbeni Kulaseni and Kaberi are all the names of the present Kaberi which divides Lat (South-Gnjarat ) and Pauranic Anarta (North Gujarat) from Aparant or North Konkan. 4* Leaving aside, the Pauranic legendary, dynasties of Anarta and Aparant, we would like to confine ourselves strictly to the historical period. Indian ancient-medieval period commences with the expedition of Alexander and the establishment of the great Mauryan empire of Magadha. The Mauryas were replaced by 'Kshatrapas' and they in turn by the Guptas. At the time of the disruption of the great Gupta empire, several principalities sprung up throughout India. As we are not at present concerned with other parts of India, we would only deal with the dynasties which were established in Aparant and Anarta. A Scion of the Mauryas established himself in Aparant (North-Konkan) and began to rule from Mangalpuri or Puri. The Gurjars established themselves at Bhinmal (Shrimal) and included in their territory the southern portion of Marwar and almost all North-Gujarat'i.e. most of Anarta. Probably a relation of the Bhinmal Gurjars established himself at Nandipur. 5. The seed of Chaulukyan power in Southern India was sown during 4th century and was gradually taking root. The Chaulukyan Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com

Page #11
power reached its zenith in the time of Pulakeshi I, who brought under the Chaulukyan Barahdhvaj the whole of India and had the fortune to perform Asvamedha or horse-sacrifice but after him the feudatories broke away from tne suzerain power and became indepependent. As a result, of which, during the time of the successors of Pulakeshi, the Chaulukyan empire was greatly reduced. Kirtivarma and Mangalish, the two sons of Pulkeshi I, fought in vain through out their lives to bring under the Chaulukyan flag the refractory feudatories, but it was reserved for their Successor Pulkeshi II, who became the emperor of India once more after defeating Harsha some where on the bank of Narbada. Pulkeshi 11, placed the government of the Eastern Ghat, in charge of his brother Vishnu Vardhan, who established himself at Bangi. Vikramaditya, the son and successor of Pulakeshi ll, gave in appange Lat and Bonkan to his brother Jaisingh who was the first of the Chaulukyas to rule directly from Nagasarike (Navsari) and after him, his sons ruled from Navsari, for about a century. During the reign of Pulkeshi of Lat, Zunneda, the governor of Sindh under Khalifa Hassam sent military expedition and practically subjugated Marwar, Bhinmal, Mandal, Chitor and Ujjain, but the rising tide of his conquest was checked by the great Chaulukyan army near Karmaneya (Kamarej) and he was obliged to return to his country. 6. The Chaulukyas of Vatapi were ousted by the Rastrakutas and probably the Chaulukyan power was brougnt to an end. The Rastkutas ruled for more than a century and were replaced by the original stock of the Chaulukyas at Badami. At this time, a great change took place in the political history of Gujarat. The Chawadas of Anahilwada Patan were turned out from their position by Mulraj before the replacement of the Rasttrakutas by Chaulukyas at Badami. Mulraj, an enterprising youth, of some military genius, was not content with the acquirement of Chawadas throne and therefore wanted to take advantage of the disruption of Rastapakutas power in Lat; but he had however to encounter Tailap an equal military genius who hurriedly deputed his commander Barappa to assert his lordship over the territory of Lat. A terrible conflict was commenced and evry inch of land was disputed by Mulraj and Barappa. Gorgiraj the successor of Barappa not only checked the progress of the Patan Chaulukyas but threw away the yoke of Vatapi's supremacy and became independent. Descendents of Barappa are better known in history as Chaulukyas of Nandipur and ruled for about 100 years. The struggle between Chaulukyas

Page #12
of Patan and Nandipur turned to be a family feud and every one of them is found fighting tenaciously in the war. 8. While these Chaulukyas were struggling in Lat and Gujarat, the descendants of Tailap were engaged in deadly war with the Kadambas, Gangas and Pallavas of Southern India. Not only this we find skirmish between Eastern (Bengi) and Western (Vata pi) Chaulukyas during the time of Rajaraja (Raji) and Tribhuvanmal Vikramaditya. The family dissensions, of Vatapi Chaulukyas has tened their end but gradually. Three brothers were engaged in asserting their right over the throne of Vatapi by means of the sharp edge of their swords. First there was an alliance between Tribhuvanmal Vikramaditya and Trailokyamal Jayasingh against the rightful heir of Vatapi throne-Bhuvanmal Someshwar, who, with a view to defend himself joined Raji of Bengi but unfortunately was defeated and made a captive. After his success in battle, Vikramditya ascended the throne of Vatapi and handed over to Jaisingh the Government of Kuntal comprising of Banavasi 12,000, Santalig 300, Velvola and many other parts which were considered the heart of Chaulukyan power in Southern India. Jaysingh began to rule in the Government of Banavasi, with the title of Banavasi Yuvraja which has been a mystery to the Historians for long. None of the proceeding writers have been able to solve the meaning of the title Yuvaraj and we, too, were at a loss to grasp the real and literary sense of it. However, we have tried our best to solve the question while dealing with the Sasana of his son Vijayasingh Kesarivikram in our book entitled 'Chaulukya Chandrika part III, Lat Vasudeopur. The alliance between these two brothers was brought to an end within five years and Jaysingh proceeded with a large army.to punish Vikramaditya for not sticking to his previous promises. The Kashmiri Pandit Bilahan, the court poet of Vikramaditya, in his book Vikramankadeo Charitra has tried his best to throw the responsibility of the war between Jaisingh and Vikramaditya on the shoulder of Jaisingh. His eagerness to defend Vikramaditya and silence regarding the causes of their dispute clearly indicate that responsibility for the war lies upon Vikramaditya. 9. Unfortunately Jaisingh was defeated on the banks of Bhima and was obliged to take shelter in jungles. During the time of his concealment, his young son Vijaysingh Kesari Vikram proceeded to

Page #13
northwards and reached the deep forest of Sahyadri. Finding the Nandipur and I tan chuluzyas ergsged in war and his uncle Vikramaditya also ighting with his suliulern enemies, he took advantage of the situation and founded a footing for himself. He was the founder of the third Chaulukyan dynasty of Lat. His capital was at Mangalpuri where his descendants ruled for three generations in peace. During the reign ci;am.deo, the founder of Vasantpur-the inodern Antapuz', the Pacin Jurulu'ya subjugated the Mangalpur Chaulukyas buc Virdeo again 233erted the independence of Mangalpuri. Virdes changed its capital from Mangalpuri .to Vasantpur where his desceudaiitsiuiciior six generations. It was again during the time of Virdeon, Clint vile uutal destruction of Vasantpuri was effected and he was compelled to take shelter at Vasudeopur Hence his descendants are styled as the Chaulukyas of Vasudeopur. Whether their existeace was wipea out or any lineal link survived is not yet ascertained. 3 uit die..e is much probability for the present Chaulukyan house of Bansda to be their sciou, which claims its existence as a ruler over cia territory which was under the sway of Vasudeopur Chaulukyas. 10. Siznilarly the fate of Nandipur Chaulukyas is unknown while the Tatav chculukyas were repiaced by the Baghelas of Dhaulka, who in their curn were ousted by Alladin Khilji in 1308 or 1309 A. D. Henceforward. Mohammedan supremacy reigned in Lat, till 1763, when it was destroyed by the Marathas. During this period, ranging froin 1308 to 1703, Mohammedan supremacy changed hands several times. 11. The disorder and confusion which followed the fall of Chaulukyas and the rise of Moliama:edan power in Gujarat gave rise to wany peily principalities established by either kinsmen or generals of the outgoing dynasties. Many enterprising adventurers also made a forure cut of the disorder, and created a home for themselves and their descendants. Many of these newly established States succumbed to the onslaughts of their more powerful neighbours who, in turn gave way to the Mohammedans. Some of them survived and witnessed many ups and downs. We mention only those States, such as Bannagar (Dharampur), Bansda. Rajpipla, Lunawara, Santrampur, Chhota Udaipur and Bariya which are situated within the boundary or on the border line of Lat.

10 strong force against him, Afazal Khan one of the formost nobles of Bijapur and an experienced general volunteered his services against the Maratha rebel. While proceeding to chastise Shivaji, Afazal Khan did not conceal his intolerance of Hinduism and desecrated the temples of Tuljapur and Pandharpur. His objects in doing so was more or less to draw Shivaji out from his stronghold into the open plains. Being foiled in this attempt he opened negotiations which resulted in a meeting of the adversaries and the ultimate result of which was the death of Afazal Khan. Bijapur, being infuriated at the death of Afazal Khan, poured its vast resources of army against the rebel and Shivaji was cornered in a way. With great difficulties he extricated himself from the dangerous situation in 1660, 18. While Shivaji was overcoming the difficulties placed in his way by Bijapur, unexpected danger came from the Mughal side. Shaista Khan was appointed Viceroy of Deccan by Aurangzeb with instructions to subdue Shivaji. Shaista Khan put all the resources at his command into motion and wrested Poona and Chakan from Shivaji. Secondly, he turned his attention towards Kalyan, and gradually cleared it of the Marathas. Intoxicated at his success Shaista Khan was enjoying in the citadel of Poona, but Shivaji surprised him by a night attack in 1663. Shivaji entered the Viceroy's apartments with a few of his companions and slew his son with forty of his attendants, cut off the thumb of Viceroy himself by the stroke of his Bhavani and returned safely to his stronghold of Singhagarh, 17. This daring exploit enhanced the prestige of Shivaji and totally demoralised the Imperial forces in the Deccan. Shivaji at once started to take full advantage of the demoralised state of the Imperial forces and he determined to avenge the wrongs done to Poona, his favourite city by the Mughal Viceroy. He resorted to plundering of prosperous cities belonging to the Mughals after their own fashion. While doing so, his attention was drawn by the prosperous condition of Surat in the Lat country. He deputed his trusted adherents to know the disposition of neighbouring Hindu Princes whcse territory he was to traverse in his march and also to secure informations about the defences of that city. His spies found the princes of Jawar. Ramnagar, Peth and Bansda favourably disposed, and willing to help him in his enterprise,

Page #16
18. Having received favourable reports from his spies, Shivaji set out on his expedition in 1664 and reached the city, plundered it for six days continuously. When news reached of the arrival of Mughal forces in the vicinity, he slipped away to his country carrying all his booty safely. The triumphant return of Shivaji to his country and the repeated misfortunes of the Imperial forces, lowered their prestige in the Deccan. Aurangzeb at once deputed Maharaja Jaisingh of Ambhar (Jaipur) followed by Diler Khan as his lieutenant. Shivaji's power was unequal for an open contest with Jaisingh, he therefore sued for peace immediately on the fall of Purandar which resulted in his surrender of his fortresses excepting twelve in 1666. However, he was allowed to compensate his territorial losses at the expense of the Bijapur kingdom. Jaisingh was anxious to remove Shivaji from the battlefield of Deccan and therefore induced him to present himself in person at the Mughal Court. 19. Shivaji, inspite of the protests of his lieutenants set out for Agra cherishing high hopes in his heart. But the cold reception accorded to him by Aurangzeb and his virtual confinement disillu. sioned him at once. By a clever stratagem he escaped from this confinement and cleverly eluding his pursuers succeeded in reaching Deccan in 1666. 20. After his return from Agra Shivaji concluded peace with the Imperial Viceroy and reorganised his disrrupted government but war broke between the Mughals and the Marathas again in 1669. By rapid and successive blows Shivaji recovered all his fortresses surren. dered to the Mughals in 1666. After regaining his lost trritories and consolidating his power, he turned his eyes towards Surat again in 1669. Henceforth, expeditions to Gujarat became an annual festivity of the Marathas. 21. When Shivaji died in 1680, he left a big kingdom consisting of the entire coastal line from Dharampur to Karwar rnd Baglan to Kolhapur with the exception of Portuguese settlements, Daman, Salsette, Bassein, Chaul and Goa. After his death his eldest son Sambhaji succeeded him. Aurangzeb with all the military resources of bis Empire marched against him. Sambhaji, though a man of loose character was a reckless bravo soldier, He gave Aurangzeb a tough Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com

12 fight for about 9 years, but in the end was captured. His minor son Shahu was also captured but was released after the death af Aurangzeb in 1707. 22. During the captivity of Shahu Pajaram his uncle and stepbrother of his father became the standard bearer of the Maratha Empire. He was hunted from place to place and died leaving behind him two sons. Tarabai inother of Shivaji II, took the administration in her hands. During this period of her regency the Maratha general not contented with fighting the Mughals in their own homeland made several expeditions in Malva and Gujarat. 23. When Shahu returned in 1707, he at once demanded his paternal throne but Tarabai strongly opposed his claims which resulted in a long war. Shahu came out triumphant with the help of Balaji Vishwanath a Chitpavan Dihain from lonkan and Khanderao Labh. ade, Patil of Talegaon. Being indebted to Balaji Vishwanath and Khanderao Dabhade he made them Peshwa and Senapati respectively. Khanderao Dabhade left the home affairs entirely in the hands of Balaji Vishvanath and took upon himself the duty of ousting the Mughals from Khandesh and Gujarat. Balaji Vishwanath obtained Sanads for Chauth and Sirdeshmukhi from the Mughal Emperor. The Peshwa became in fact the real head of Maratha Empire and the King or Chhatrapati was relegated to the background, 24. Armed with the Inperial Sanads the Maratha began to consolidate their power in the provinces mentioned in the Sanads. Senapati Dabhade was already in Gujarat but unfortunately he died soon after the death of Balaji Vishwanath who was succeeded by his eldest son Bajirao I. The death of these two statesmen was a signal for disunion in the Maratha camp. The Marathas became divided in two camps viz. Brahmins and non-Brahmins. All non-Brahmins Marathas, such as Dabhade, Gaikwar, Kadam and Pawar were combined to-gether against the Peshwa. First the Peshwa was defeated but in the second battle he came out successful and practically brought all the refractory generals under his banner. After the second battle Damaji Gaikwar was made Mutalik of Dabhade. Though, he was only a Mutalik but he was working independently. Bajirao Balaji the third Peshwa succeeded to the Peshwaship

Page #18
13 in 1740, and obtained from Shahu on his death-bed the Sanad in 1749, making Jiin virtuel uzaster of the Maratha Enpire. In 1751, he compelled! Damaji to agree to an equal division of Gujarat and Kathiawar. 25. balaji Bajirao 1:25 succeeded by his son Madhavrao in 1761-62 who in turn was siicceeded by his brother Narayanrao. Narayanrao was killed in 1778 and we succeeded by his posthumus son Madhavrao Narayan. It was at this juncture that the British East Tndia Company which was looking for an opportunity for expansion on the western coast got the desired opportunity. Raghunath Rao joined hands with Govind Rao Gaikwar who was his accomplice for a long time past and was disgusted with the Peshwa Court on account of the rescinding of his own succession and the recognition of Sayajirao As right ful heir to Gaikwar Gadi. War broke out between the Peshwa and the East India Company and went on for several years when it was at last concluded by the treaty of Salbai on 17th May 1782. Madhavrao Narayan was succeeded by Bajirao Raghnnath, his uncle in collateral line in 1796. Bajirao Raghunath was the last Peshwa. In 1802 he signed the famous treaty of Bassein accepting the British subsidiary force and thus veritably gave up his independence. By the treaty the Company procured for itseif a territory yielding an annnal income of Rs. 26,00,000 for maintaining the said subsidiary force. Only 16 years later in 1818 the Company compelled Balaji Raghunath to abdicate and resign in its favour all his rights of over-lordship. 26. Our compilation incorporates orders of these Peshwas to their officials who were placed in charge of Surat Athavisi, to the Rawals of Bansda, Kanas of Ramnagar, Rajas of Mandvi and various Gaikwars. Besides it consists of letters written by aforesaid persons to the Peshwas, of accounts submitted by Government officials and applications of Bansda and other States for deciding their successione and other disputes. 27. As the history of Shivaji's Surat expedition and the part played by the Princes of Jawar and Ramnagar is a well knownn fact, we need not enter into the exposition of their help to Shivaji and their subsequent misery at the hands of the later Maratha generals. But we cannot help mentioning that the Princes of Bansda were not Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com

Page #19
lacking in their sympathy, zeal and active support to the founder of the Maratha Empire and to his generals; rather they were instrumental for the success of some of the Maratha expeditions in Gujarat. 28. Hitherto the co-operation of the Bansda Chaulukyas with the great Shivaji and the misery that followed in the trail in this connection with the Marathas were matters of mere Bardic tradition. But recent researches reveal the important part played by Bansda at the time of Shivaji's first and second expeditions of Surat and also at times when other Maratha generals invaded Gujarat. 29. According to these researches the first Prince of Bansda who helped Chhatrapati Shivaji at the time of his Surat expedition: was Rawal U diabhan. Of course, there is no direct evidence to that effect but the indirect one is also of no mean value. Moropant the commander-in-chief of Shivaji's forces writes in one of his letters addressed to his companion Prataprao Gujar as early as 1671 and asks him to proceed further from Kobvan through the Ghotmal Ghat and to enlist the help of Rawal Mulraj of Bansda. He asks Prataprao to remind Mulraj of the friendship of his father with Shivaji, while asking him to join his forces with Marathas against Mughals. 30. This indirect evidence is of great value and is conclusive of Rawal Udaibhan's friendship with Shivaji and his part in aforesaid Surat expeditions. Shivaji sacked Surat first in 1664 and second time in 1869. We can easily conclude that Rawal Udaibhan died some time after 1669 and before 1871, and was succeeded by his son Rawal Mulraj. If we give even 25 years for Rawal Udaibhan the average of this family and the contemporary ruling families, the time of Udaibhan's succession will go back to 1645 A. D. Thereby Rawal Udaibhan appears to be contemporary of Shivaji from the very beginning of his rige. 31. As our present concern is to deal solely with those papers incorporated in our present volume, we refuse to enter into the discussion of Bansda's more ancient history.

You had the said Pargana with you. Consequently the Raja interviewed the late Shreemant Nana Sahab and submitted as follows: "One-half of the Pargana Bisharpnr may be taken by the Sarkar and the other half be restored to me." Thereupon one half of the Pargana was taken over by the Sarkar and the other was restored to the Raja. Accordingly he exercised control over half the Pargana for some time. Later on the other half of the Pargana belonging to the Sarkar was given to you in Saranjam. There after you began to realise the revenue of the whole Pargana. You were asked to abstain from doing such realisation. Notwith standing the arrangement you are not paying to the Raja the revenue which is his due. This has resulted in an representation from the Raja to the Sarkar. Therefore the Sarkar is sending order with courier. You are to hand over the half revenue to the Raja and send his receipts to the Hazur. If a complaint is received again such conduct on your part will not be tolerated.

Consequently the Raja interviewed the late Shreemant Nana sahab and made a representation as follows: "One half of the said Pargana may be taken over by the Sarkar and the other half may be brought under his control." Thereupon, one-half of the Pargana was taken over by the Sarkar and other half was handed over to the Raja. Accordingly the Raja continued to exercise control over the same for some time. Later on one-half of the Pargana which was under the control of the Sarkar was assigned to you as Saranjam.

A dispute for succession between Uday singh and Jorawar singh resulted in the attachment of the State by the Sarkar. Thus the State remained for two years under the management of the Government.

aitihAsika lekha There were lot of difficulties in the way of the realisation of Govrenment's due from the Sansthan, therefore Govrenment's due had not been realised. Besides the Amal for the year 1172 had not been fully recovered due to the treachery of Vasta. He had proceeded further and taken the law into his hands and killed Dayalji Mehta the Brahamin Karbari of the State and looted the State making it pratically waste. Keshav Vithal and Tryambak Ballall who were deputed to make collection also caused a lot of troubles and harmed the State a great deal. All these happenings are now brought to the notice of the Sarkar. Therefore you are asked to adopt punitive measures against Vasta and to establish firmly Udaysingh on the Gadi. You are entrusted with realisation of Government's Amal for a period of six years from 1173 to 1178 Arba. Sanad has been granted to Pandurang Krishan consisting of all the aforesaid eight clauses. Rawal Udaysingh is also informed of this new arrangement. Besides he is informed of the following clauses relating to the collection of revenue. 1. He is to pay the Amal to Pandurang Krishan every year. 1. Instalments are made for Government's due up to 1171. These instalments are also to be regularly paid year by year. 1. Government's Amal had been realised by Vasta Jamadar for 1172. The said is to be recovered from by him force. Certain dues from the State wer alleged in 1165. For ascertaining the same Karkoons were deputed in 1189. Those Karkoons were asked to examine the account of Appaji Hari and his Agent Tryambak Ballal. Vasta Jamadar produced a got-up account before them. Pandurang Kriehna will hold inquiry afresh. For that purpose he is to be given access to original State papers. 1. Government's Amal is to be paid as stated above.
