1. The kingdom of Des will be conquered by the Muhammadans, Raygad will be lost. Sambhaji Raja will be captured and tortured (by the Mughals).
[141] 2. Then another king named Siva will reign. He will conquer the country as far as Delhi and establish undisputed sway (over the whole area).
3. Raja-ram will reign at Jinji. From Jinji he will recover the kingdom of Des.
4. The Bhonsle family will reign for twenty-seven generations. Their era will continue for one thousand years.
5. In a previous birth, Sivaji had carried twenty-seven loads of pitchers filled with the Ganges water on his own shoulders and poured the water at Ramesvar, and in his twenty-seven previous births offered his head to Sri Bhavani.
6. Owing to the merit of these deeds, the Bhonsle power will last for twenty-seven generations. The twenty-seventh descendant will be born blind and he will lose the kingdom.
