Shivaji's Fortunes and Possessions

The Life of Shivaji Maharaj, 414-420, 2017 (Online Edition). N. Takakhav Chapter 31 Shivaji’s Fortunes and Possessions N. S. Takakhav Professor, Wilson College, Bombay. Editor Published Online Kiran Jadhav 17 March 2018 The life story of Shivaji has been told in the preceding chapters. It is proposed in the present chapter to make an attempt to estimate the extent of his power, possessions and wealth at the time of his death. Nor should it be quite an uninteresting subject to make such an audit of his wealth and possessions, seeing that it furnishes an index to the measure of his success in his ceaseless toils of over thirty-six years, in that war of redemption which he had embarked upon against the despotism of the Mahomedan rulers of the country. At the time when the Rajah Shahaji transferred his allegiance from the fallen house of the Naizam Shahi sultans to that of the still prosperous Adil Shahi dynasty and in the service of that government entered upon the sphere of his proconsular authority in the Karnatic, he had left his Maharashtra jahgirs, as we have seen, under the able administration of the loyal Dadaji Kondadev. These jahgir estates comprised the districts of Poona, Supa, Indapur, Daramati and a portion of the Maval country. This was the sole patrimony derived by Shivaji from his illustrious father at the time he embarked upon his political career. Even these districts were held on the sufferance of the Bijapur government and were saddled with feudal burdens. That government was in a position to have cancelled or annexed these jahgirs at any time.

The Gazetteer Department SATARA DISTRICT GAZETTEER Gazetteers of the Bombay Presidency (Facsimile Reproduction) SATARA DISTRICT VOLUME XIX Originally Printed in 1985 Reprinted in 1989 e-BOOK EDITION : 2006 Published By The Exective Editor and Secretary Gazetteer Department, Govt. of Maharashtra, Bombay Contents PREFACE I am happy to bring out this Facsimile Reproduction of the Satara District Gazetteer,which was first published in 1885 by the British Government in the series of Gazetteersof theBombay Presidency. The Volume was edited by Mr. James M. Campbell, I.C.S.This Gazetteer compiled 104 years ago has now become scarce and has gone out ofprint. The second revised edition of the Satara District Gazetteer was published by thisdepartment in 1963. However, the utility of the Gazetteer in the old Series is stillundiminished because it contains authentic and very useful information on severalaspects of life, and has the impress of profound scholarship and learning. It has not lostits utility due to the mere passage of time. It was, therefore, felt necessary to preservethis treasure of information for posterity. There is also a good demand from scholarsthat all the Old Gazetteers should be reprinted even though a better and muchinformative revised edition is available. With these considerations in view, it was thoughtthat the Gazetteer Volumes in the Old Series should be reprinted. I am sure, scholarsand studious persons will find it very useful. It may be pertinent to state that a totally rewritten Marathi edition of the SataraDistrict Gazetteer is being brought out by us. I am thankful to the Director, Government Printing and Stationery, Shri B.
