1.1.3

Then two sons, Rajsri Sahaji Raje and Rajsri Sarafji Raje were born of Rajs'ri Maloji Raje. Both obtained Jaigirs under the Pads'ahi. While they were still in service the Nizamsahi came to an end. After that Sahaji Raje became a noble of the Adilsahi. The title of Maharaj was conferred on him. He maintained an army of ten to twelve thousand soldiers. Sahaji Raje had two wives. The first wife was Jijai Au, and the second wife Tukai Au. Ekoji Raje, a son, was born of the latter. As soon as a son, Rajasri Sivaji Raje was born of Jijai Au, Sri Sambhu Mahadev stirred himself and said in a dream — "I myself have descended [to earth]. I will in future perform many feats of valour. [7] You should keep (the child) with you for twelve years Do not keep him afterwards. Let him go wherever he will. Do not restrain him." Such was the prophecy. Sahaji Raje used [thereafter] to reside at Bengrul[=Bangalore] in the Karnatak.
