In Marāthī, the chief secondary sources are the *bakhars* or prose-chronicles. They are of varying value, but the early ones especially contain a great deal of information gleaned at first hand. Many of them were published by R. N. Sane in the historical journal *Kavyetihāsa Sangraha* (1878–89), and have since been separately printed. Some of the most important for the period are:
1. The Pānīpat Bakhar. By Raghunāth Yādāv. 1763.
2. The Peshwā's Bakhar. By Sohoni. 1822.
3. The Bhāo Sāhib's Bakhar. N.D.
4. Dābhāde Gāikwādāchī Hakīkat (History of the Dābhādes and Gāikwārs). 1818.
5. Holkarānchī Kaifiyat (Narrative of the Holkar family).
6. The Nāgpur Bhonsles' Bakhar. 1818.
7. The Bakhar of Shāhū Mahārājā. By Govindrāo Chitnīs.
