Gradually the dying Shahu became quick-tempered and peevish. Writes his personal attendant Nagorao Meghashyam, “The king’s health is growing very delicate every day. He does not tolerate a large number of men about him. The Rani Saheb alone is in constant attendance. Even Sukhanand (the jester) is excluded. He has started the work of building a permanent structure at Mahuli as Virubai’s memorial. He talks of visiting Pratapgad and Jejuri.”
