Section 12. Account of Tuluva desa. 



This paper contains the same general outline as the preceding ; with 

 reference to the story of Jamadayui, his son Parasu Rama; Kartavir- 

 arjuna ; the coming of Parasu Rama to Tuluva, and obtaining land 

 from the sea; the appointment of Juthu Brahmans, and subsequent re- 

 jection of them. The birth of Mayura Verma, his calling the Brahmans 

 from Hai-cslietram, and a list of his successors are stated. The Tuluva- 

 desam, and the modern province of Canara, form the same locality. The 

 list of descendants from Mayura Verma has already been given from a 

 valuable Canarese document. 



Remark.— The contents of this Book are in very good preservation ; 

 the 11th Section particularly so; and that with the 12th, are the most 

 important portions. 



Manuscript Book, No. 3. C. M. 915. 



Section 1. List of memoirs sent from Aurungabad. 



Merely a sort of tabular index, on two pages. 



Section 2. Account of Sivaji, the Mahratta chief of Sattara. 



This tract is rather large, though but little is written in each page. It 

 adverts to the crimes, adventures and conquests of Sivaji. The details 

 are minute, and do not appear to claim any particular abstract. Sivaji acted 

 under the authority of the Peishwah at Poonah. As the document is in 

 good preservation, it seems sufficient to indicate generally its contents; 

 seeing that they can at any time be referred to, in comparison with the 

 documents, in the collection, which relate to Sivaji. 



Section 3. Historical account of Poonah. 



Legendary matter. Afterwards Puniya rishi formed a residence here ; 

 which increased to a small hamlet, and acquired the name of Puniyar. 

 Various details as to the increase of population, and formation of villages 

 and forts. Mention of rivers in the neighbourhood. They flow by Pon- 

 derpur. Reference to kings of Canogi, and Udiya-giri both in or near 

 the Mahratta country; not Canoge in the north. A devotee of Devi 

 was favored with a vision of that goddess ; telling him that many lakhs of 

 money were buried under a tree, near her fane ; which he might take j 

 raise troops; and become a chieftain. This circumstance appears to in- 

 dicate the foundation of power. But details concerning the Padshah of 

 Delhi follow, with many interferences by that ruler. The subsequent 

 details and transactions are too numerous conveniently to admit an ab- 

 stract. The origin of the Bhosaca race appears in the document. In the 

 latter portions there are some matters relative to the English campaign
