A History of the Mahrattas v1.c10.47

v1.c10.47

There were several Carcoons under Dadajee, intimate companions of Sivajee, who afterwards became his agents and advisers. As he was intrusted with a larger share of power, he used to pay and receive visits among the respectable Mahrattas in the neighbourhood of Poona; and he obtained general good-will in that part of the country by an obliging and conciliatory deportment; but, even at this time, it was whispered that Shahjee’s son was a sharer in the profits of some extensive gang robberies committed in the Concan.
