It’s a well known historical fact that Sawai Jai Singh greatly contributed to conquest of Malwa by Mahrattas.
A correspondence between Jai Singh & Bajirao, wherein Peshwa invokes Puranic tale of Agastya drinking up sea & he being a Brahmin, though flattering is metaphorical &..
a warning if he opposed the Brahmin.
Jai Singh replied in same manner using the same text. Says he will forgive the sin of son of a Brahmin & it’s of no consequence that Agastya drank up sea, it’d doom if God destroyed the walls which retain ocean, what would become of Agastya
Sawai Jai Singh was not just almost able general, a patron & scholar of astronomy but an intellectual of himself times. His dismissal of Peahwa’s veiled threat is just amazing.
Overlook the grammar 😂
