Sen) 17 - **Language:** English ### [17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.17) S.D. \[72\] Sivaji Maharaj lived in the province of Puna and was educated by Dadaji Pant. He was taught the arts of wrestling and throwing missiles. The Raja was a discerner of good qualities and learnt his lesson if he was told only once (by hearing only once), so keen was his intelligence. When only 11 or 12 years old, he used to pay attention to every detail of management, whether important or unimportant. If anything was done without his cognisance he used to say to Dadaji Pant, — "Should you not inform me of these things because I am young? You are my senior and should get everything done by me. \* \* \* My father asked you to train me and (if) you act (without my knowledge), how should I gain experience? Thenceforth Dadaji Pant did not do anything great or small without consulting him. - [Previous: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.16) - [Next: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.18) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.17) · Pramāṇa
