v2.c24.s2.78

Muzaffar Jang, Nizam-ul-mulk's grandson is recorded to have said when he heard of Shahu's death, "Shahu at the Maratha Court, and Nizam-ul-mulk at the Mughal Court, are the only two great men, the like of whom is hardly to be met with. He carefully looked after the interests of his State : There has been no equal to him. He rightly deserves the title of "enemy-less" (*Ajata-shatru*).
