A day or two after the coronation the monsoon burst, the rains set in with violence, and the weather continued wet for some time, to the intense discomfort of the assembled crowd. On the 8th, Shivaji took a fourth wife without any state or ceremony. Shortly before this he had married* two others. (Letter of Oxinden, 27 May; Oxinden's Memorial under date 8 June.)
