⁴ Kharda Ballad in Sane's Patre Yadi Bagaire, p. 36. Aurangzib is styled *Sarbabhaum* in a letter of Yesubai, wife of Sambhaji, written during her captivity in the Mughal camp. It is noteworthy that Peshwa Baji Rao I refrained from causing any harm to the Imperial metropolis when it lay at his mercy and the reasons assigned by him for this conduct clearly shows how the Marathas still respected the weak Emperor. For this interesting letter see Parasnis Brahmendra Swami, part II, pp. 21-31.
