Naropant Dikshit served as his agent (Karbhari). Two very intelligent sons Raghunath Pant and Janardan Pant were born to him. The Pargana of Puna was within Sahaji Raje's Jaigirs. The intelligent and shrewd Dadaji Konddev had been appointed there. He went to Bengrul to see the Maharaja, Rajasri Sivaji Raje and Jijai Au went with him. The Raje was then 12 years of age. Dadaji Pant and the Raje were despatched to Puna. With them were sent a man named Sam Rav Nilkanth as Peswa, Balkrishna Pant, cousin of Naro Pant Dikshit, as Majumdar, Sono Pant as Dabir and Raghunath Ballal as Sabnis. They came to Puna.
