Veermata Jijabai
She had resolved not to engage Shivaji in the services of others.
Rather, he would establish 'Swaraj'-the rule of own people.
People living in Maval region, called Mavlas were loyal,hardworking and quick footed.
Shivaji wanted to do something for these miserable people.
Jijabai used to tell him that, Shri Ramchandra was ancestor of Bhonsales and Shri Krishna was ancestor of Jadhavs and inspired him to destroy the wicked like them.
By remembering the brave deeds of past heroes like Rama,Krishna,Bhim,Arjun,Shivaji felt that he must fight against injustice and bring happiness to his subjects.
