Sen) 10.2 - **Language:** English ### [10.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.10.2) But ultimately the Marathas of the army will not support the counsel of the Karkuns. At last, (Sambhaji) will arrest all the Sarkarkuns \[103\] after inspiring their confidence. Sambhaji Raje will murder many of the great Brahmans of our time. He will commit Brahmanicide. Then he will murder, arrest and dishonour the Maratha officers of the army. Men of low standing and slaves will be promoted while men of rank will be degraded. Sambhaji will indulge in intoxicating drugs, smoke ganja and practise debauchery. The forts and strongholds will (be suffered to) remain without commanders and the kins will not look after their welfare. He will squander the revenue and all his wealth. He will ruin the whole kingdom. Aurangzib will march from Delhi on hearing of the evil propensities of Sambhaji. The Mughal will annex Bijapur and Bhaganagar. (They) will take this kingdom also. And at length Sambhaji will be betrayed. As after Malik Ambar, his son Fate Khan ruined the Nizam Shah's kingdom when he took up the government, so will Sambhaji ruin this kingdom. Then Rajaram will take up the administration and recover the lost kingdom. He will be more powerful than myself. So much about the qualities of my sons. Sambhaji will spare none of the older Karkuns of my time. Of them (Karkuns) Prahlad Pant, son of Niraji Pant, and Ramchandra Pant, son of Nilo Pant, these two Brahmans will acquire great power. Nilo Pant, the son of the Pradhan will also be a man of note. - [Previous: 10.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.10.1) - [Next: 10.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.10.3) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.10.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.10.2) · Pramāṇa
