v2.c47.3

¹ Generally so written by the English; properly, however, it is Mankeshwur. [Sadāshiv Pant Mānkēshvar (Sewdasheo Mankesir), commonly called Bhāu Mānkēshvar, was a Deshasth Brahman, whose family for many generations had filled the office of Deshpānde of Temburni, near Pandharpur. After Bājirāo’s restoration in 1803, Sadāshiv Pant became chief minister with a Saranjām amounting annually to 1,25,000 rupees. He died in 1817, and his possessions passed to a distant relative, Lakshmanrāo, who was adopted by his widow.]
