A History of the Mahrattas v1.c16.92

v1.c16.92

From what can be learned of Sivajee in domestic life, his manners were remarkably pleasing and his address winning; he was apparently frank, but seldom familiar; passionate in his disposition, but kind to his dependants and relations. He was a man of small stature and of an active rather than strong make; his countenance was handsome and intelligent; he had very long arms in proportion to his size, which is reckoned a beauty among Mahrattas.¹
