New History of the Marathas v2.c24.s2.131

v2.c24.s2.131

After the cremation rites of Shahu and Sakwarbai had been performed, an official deputation from Satara headed by Bapuji Khanderao Chitnis, brought Ramraja to Satara from his retreat at Pangaon along with his sister Daryabai Nimbalkar. Arrived at Vaduth on the Krishna on 26th December, he called on Tarabai the same afternoon in the temple of Shakunteshvar. The next day, 27th December the Peshwa along with the sardars and officials called on Ramraja and made their obeisance to him by offering nazars. Tarabai convinced the Maratha sardars of the genuineness of Ramraja's birth by eating food with him out of the same dish; and the youth was unquestionably accepted as Tarabai's real grandson.
