New History of the Marathas v2.c24.62

v2.c24.62

Shahu desired to inflict severe punishment upon Parasuram Pant for his treachery, but was induced by the mediation of his devoted Chitnis Khando Ballal to relent and to restore him to his old office of Pratinidhi. After his death on 26 May 1716, his second son Shripatrao was appointed to the Pratinidhi’s post, the eldest son Krishnaji having already accepted the same office under the Kolhapur branch.
