Shri Shiv Chatrapati Caritr 1.4.8

1.4.8

After this Sri Bhavani of Tuljapur came to the Raja in a dream, and said, "I have got Afzal killed with thy hands, and those who came afterwards I caused to be defeated. In future too are great deeds to be performed. I shall live in thy kingdom. Establish me and maintain my worship". Then the Raje loaded a cart with money, sent it to the Gandaki, brought a stone of that river, made an image of Sri Bhavani with it and established the goddess at Pratapgad. Many deeds of charity were performed, jewelled ornaments of many different styles were made for the goddess. Mokasa villages were granted (to Bhavani), and separate Havaldar, Majumdar and Peswa appointed for the goddess's property and a great festivity was inaugurated. Vows have always been offered and fairs held (at Pratapgad) exactly as at Tuljapur, and a behest was made in a dream to the people going to the fair of Tuljapur.
