Sen) 11.3 - **Language:** English ### [11.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.11.3) The reports of his good parts were verified but on his way to the kachari, the sight of the butchers' houses disturbs his spleen and he feels it very difficult to salute Muhammadans by touching earth with his hands. If the Badshah comes to know of this, I shall fall into great troubles." \* \* \* (A playmate of Sivaji, at Sahaji's request, questioned Sivaji about this matter and got the following answer) \[71\] "I will not live on the bread of the Yavanas and salute them by touching earth with my hands. And if cow slaughter takes place in the city, or I hear of its occurence, I will not remain content without punishing it, whatever may be the consequence thereof." The Raja was informed of the answer and fell in a current of thought. Vyankaji Raje hitherto kept in Karnatak was brought to Bijapur. "He (Sivaji) and I should be of one mind, but he does not like it. He is but a child. But if he stays here the difference will go on increasing and reach what climax I do not know." Thereupon it was decided to send him to Puna and as it was expected that the guidance of some good officer may do him good, Dadaji Konddev was asked to be ready. (Sivaji was only eight years at this time). According to Chitnis Sivaji was seven years old at the time of his first visit to Bijapur (p. 25). - [Previous: 11.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.11.2) - [Next: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.12) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.11.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.11.3) · Pramāṇa
