¹ [Pilājī Jādav (Peelajee Jadow) was not a Marāthā in the strict sense of the term. He was a Rāmosī, who on several occasions performed good service in the Marāthā cause, and was subsequently appointed Sar Nāyak (chief headman) of the Rāmosīs of Poona and Purandar by the Rājā of Sātāra about 1730. The appointment of Sar Nāyak became extinct about 1790. In 1832 a descendant of Pilājī Jādav was resident near Sāsvad, Poona District, and enjoyed an annual pension of 5,000 rupees from the British Government. (Mackintosh, Account of the Ramoosies, Bombay (1832), pp. 57, 59.)]
