“When kings and rulers of bigger kingdoms refused to help me, you bravely gave me shelter and helped to protect Hinduism. I can never forget this bravery and generosity of yours. May Goddess Bhavani give you all happiness! I pray to God that your land may be a home of happiness. Your son, Rajaram”
-Rajaram, the son of Shivaji to Rani Chennamma of Keladi
