A History of the Mahrattas v2.c44.7

v2.c44.7

¹ [In the Marāthā genealogies, published in Forrest’s *Selections* (*Marāthā Series*), vol. i, Daulat Rāo Sindia’s age at this date is given as twenty-two (p. 695). The *Imperial Gazetteer* (1908), vol. xii, p. 423, accepts Grant Duff’s view that he was scarcely fifteen. Marshman (1869), vol. ii, p. 47, speaks of him as ‘a lad of thirteen’; and Malcolm, *Central India*, 3rd ed., 1832, vol. i, p. 13, describes him as only ‘thirteen years of age.’ The statement on p. 572, O.H.I., that he was ‘a boy of thirteen’ when he succeeded to Māhādaji’s possessions is correct. Daulat Rāo’s mother, Mainabāi, was a daughter of Yesujī Angria. Her brother, Bāburāo Angria, is described by Colonel Broughton in *Letters from a Mahratta Camp* (Constable’s Oriental Miscellany IV (1892), pp. 30, 31).]
