INSCRIBED WITH PERMISSION TO SHRI. BHAWANRAO SHINIVASRAO ALIAS BALASAHEB PANT PRATINIDHI,B.A., Chief of Aundh In respectful appreciation of his deep study of Maratha history and his ardent admiration of Shivaji Maharaj, THE FOUNDER OF MARATHA SWARAJ PREFACE The records in Maharashtra and other places bearing on Shivaji's life are still being searched out and collected in the Shiva-Charitra-Karyalaya founded by the Bharata- Itihasa-Samshodhak Mandal of Poona and important papers bearing on Shivaji's doings are being discovered from day to day. It is, therefore, not yet time, according to many, to write an authentic lifetof this great hero of Maha- rashtra and 1 hesitated for some time to undertake this work suggested to me by Shrimant Balasaheb Pant Prati- nidhi, Chief of Aundh. I have now, however, accepted this suggestion, as the materials already discovered are plentiful enough and throw new light on many incidents in Shivaji's life. They deserve to be described afresh with the help of this new light and many wrong ideas about Shivaji require to be corrected or eradicated at once. First among these new records of Shivaji is the Shiva- JSharata, a poetical life of Shivaji, written by Paramanand, his court-poet and by his order. Though a poem, especially one called Bharata, exaggerates many things, there are some facts which can never be exaggerated or invented* Thus Shiva' Bharata may exaggerate the beauty of Shivaji's mother or the prowess of Shivaji in battle. But it cannot invent a new date or a new name or even a new incident. Especially we may bear in mind that Paramanand was a contemporary poet writing at Shivaji's suggestion and had thus at command the assistance of reliable papers and ii PREFACE persons. Those who seek to minimise the value of this work because it is a poem are really mistaken in their view and may be said to be inexpert in the appreciation of evidence. And when they compare it to Prithviraj- Rasa for this view, they forget that the latter poem is of little historical value, not because it is a poem, but because it was written 300 years after Prithviraj, when people had forgotten many facts about him and had necessarily to invent them to fill up gaps. They should rather compare Shiw-Bharata with Prithviraj- Vijaya, a poem composed in his time and by his order. It has been corroborated by many in of inscriptions recently found ( as shown my History former Mediaeval Hindu India, Vol. Ill ). Indeed like the only a portion of this poem has been found and probably like it again it was half-finished by the poet himself. The next material to be noticed is a heap of papers found in recent research such as letters, sanads, kaifiyats, mah jars (testimonials of persons present in court at the settlement of a dispute), etc* All this material hitherto found by Rajawade, Parasnis, Deva and other researchers has been collected and printed according to sequence of dates in a volume specially prepared and published by the Shiva-Charitra-Karyalaya called "Shivakalin-Patra-Sara- " Sangraha. Thirdly, we have the correspondence from English, Dutch, French and Portuguese settlements in India at the time, published already under their respective authority* Extracts from English letters referring to Shivaji have PREFACE in been put together and published by the Mandal in a separate volume ( called English Records of Shiva ji ). Of other papers, Jedhe S'akavali, which is a list of events by dates prepared in the family of Jedhes who were co-workers of Shivaji, is particularly important. Finally, Mahomedan writings of the time have also been collected by the Shiva-Charitra-Karyalaya and extracts from them have been published, especially from Muhammadnama. It goes without saying that statements in all these documents made by friends, foes and foreigners have to be tested in the crucible of probability and trustworthi- ness. The temptation to exaggerate or falsify is natural to many writers, as also the desire to record mere hear- say* But events, dates or names cannot be questioned when noted by contemporary writers. And generally the rule may be followed that when two documents contradict each other, the older document may be trusted for facts though not for motives or opinions. An attempt has been made in the following pages to give a detailed and con- nected account of Shivaji's life from these sources, as tested by these rules. Assistance has been taken from papers written on successive topics in Shivaji's life by " noted persons and collected in a volume called Shiva- " Charitra-Nibandhavali. But on many points 1 have taken my own view of the matter. It may lastly be noted that this life, though written by a Maratha and an admirer, tries to keep the balance IV PREFACE of a judge's mind in apportioning blame or praise* I hold that a life should be written by an admirer and a country- man, who naturally takes a favourable view of his hero's motives, wherever possible. But I also hold that in as- certaining facts and in judging of moral and political justi- fications, the writer must maintain an impartial attitude. How far I have succeeded in this direction, I leave it to my readers to judge* My thanks are due to Shrimant Balasaheb Pant Pratinidhi, Chief of Aundh, for strongly suggesting to me the writing of this book, Shrimant Balasaheb is a care- ful student of Maratha history and an ardent admirer of Shiva ji. But for his encouragment this book could not have been written and consequently has been dedicated to him. He has been kind enough to supply the pictures inserted in this book. My thanks are also due to Sardar K. C. Mehendale for going over the book while in press and for suggesting corrections and additions where necessary. P a * V. Vaidya.

  • Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi Ancient Asia (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India
    Pradhan, S, et al. 2020. Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi Ancient Asia (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India. Ancient Asia, 11: 1, pp. 1–7. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/aa.187 RESEARCH PAPER Recently Noticed Inscription from Lohagadwadi (Fort Lohagad), District Pune, Maharashtra, India Shrikant Pradhan*, Abhinav Kurkute† and Vivek Kale‡ In 1969 an early Jaina inscription was discovered from Pale cave, Taluka Mawal, District Pune, Maharashtra, by H.D. Sankalia and Shobhana Gokhale, Pune (1971: 67–69). It was an important discovery of an early Jaina inscription in western India. While studying the Pale inscription, both the authors had cited that “There must be many more such inscriptions, which need to be discovered.” Recently an inscription is noticed in one of the small rock-cut excavations group in fort Lohogad, Lohagadwadi by a group of trekking and exploration enthusiasts. While observing this inscription, it proposes some early characteristics of Brāhmī script. It is significant to mention that the Lohagadwadi inscription starts with ‘Namo arahaṁtānaṁ’ and the donor’s name Idarakhita. Interestingly, the inscription shows close affinity to the Pale cave inscription and proposes to be an important early inscription of Jainism in Maharashtra by the same donor mentioned in the Pale inscription. Probably, a small cave complex of Lohagadwadi, as primarily described in this article, dates back to the early rock-cut activity of Jainism in Maharashtra. Introduction eastern precipice, though both are located a little distance The well-known medieval fort of Lohagad is located from the above-mentioned excavations. Earlier, Burgess approximately 25 km south of Pale Cave.

Original materials, both published and unpublished, have been accumulating for the last sixtv years and their volume often frightens the average student. Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, therefore, suggested that a selection in a handy form should be made where all the useful documents should be in- cluded. I must confess that no historical document has found a place in the present volume, but I felt that the chronicles or bakhars could not be excluded from the present series and I began with Sabhasad bakhar leaving the documents for a subsequent volume. This is by no means the first English rendering of Sabhasad. Jagannath Lakshman Mankar translated Sabhasad more than thirty years ago from a single manuscript. The late Dr. Vincent A. Smith over- estimated the value of Mankar's work mainly because he did not know its exact nature. A glance at the catalogue of Marathi manuscripts in the British Museum might have convinced him that the original Marathi Chronicle from which Mankar translated has not been lost.

  • 5. the Foundation of the Swaraj
    5. The Foundation of the Swaraj In the first half of the seventeenth century, an epoch making personality emerged in Maharashtra - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He established Swaraj by challenging the unjust ruling powers here. Shivaji Maharaj was born at the Shivneri fort near Junnar in Pune district on the day of Phalgun Vadya Tritiya in the Shaka year 1551, that is on 19 February 1630. Shahajiraje : Shahajiraje, the father of Shivaji Maharaj was a pre-eminent Sardar in the Deccan. The Mughals had launched a campaign to conquer the Nizamshahi Kingdom. The Adilshah of Bijapur allied with the Mughals in this campaign. Shahaji Maharaj did not wish the Mughals to get an entry into the South. So he tried to save Nizamshahi by offering stiff resistance to the Mughals. But he could not withstand the combined might of the Mughals Shahajiraje and the Adilshah. The Nizamshahi was defeated and came to an end in 1636 CE. After the Nizamshahi was wiped out, Shahajiraje became a Sardar of the Adilshah of Bijapur. The region comprising Pune, Supe, Indapur and Chakan parganas located between the Bheema and Neera rivers was vested in Shahajiraje as a jagir. This was continued by the Adilshah, and he also granted the jagir of Bengaluru and the neighbouring areas in Karnataka to Shahajiraje. For your information Jahagir or jagir means the right to enjoy the revenue of a region. The Sardars in the service of rulers used to get the revenue of the region as income instead of getting salaries directly. The region was chosen in such a way that the revenue would be equal to the salary.
