Shivaji and His Times c20.s3.2

c20.s3.2

The I. O. L. MS. ends with the death of Shivaji, but contains at the end a supplement in the form of a bare list of Shivaji's descendants at Satara down to Ramraja, the adopted son and (then reigning) successor of Shahu. This translation fixes the lower limit of the date of the Marathi original as 1770. The earliest limit might well go up to 1720, the time of the restoration of Shivaji's kingdom in a settled form under Shahu on the final abandonment of the Mughal claims to it.
