New History of the Marathas v1.c11.29

v1.c11.29

² Sambhaji was then nine years old and used to visit the Emperor now and then. In giving an account of his past life in a sanskrit paper (dated 1680) he says he was, while at Agra, called upon to have a duel or a wrestling match by the Emperor (possibly with another boy of his age). He strongly refused to obey the Emperor. प्रादुर्भूत बालभावेन्द्रप्रस्थाधिनाथानुज्ञात मल्लयुद्ध दत्ताज्ञाभंग [ संभाजी दान-पत्र ]
