After that, the Mughal emperor put forward the following condition like this, “if the king surrenders all the forts in the Maratha kingdom to the emperor and also the Maratha king should convert himself into Islamic religion, then only the king will be set- free.
But, the king, Shambhaji, refused to accept the above proposal and sang a song praising his own God, whom he sincerely believes. Then both were kept in jail for 40 days and tortured by removing their eyes, nails and peeled the skin. Still, the king refused to surrender and lost his life on March 11th, 1689. Still, the Mogul emperor was not satisfied and ordered that the king’s dead body should be cut into pieces and be thrown into the nearby river.
The residents of nearby village, by name “Vadhu”, collected all the pieces, by searching thoroughly in the river and put them in correct manner and performed the final obsequies, as per the tradition. Shambhaji was honored with the title as “Dharma veer” (Courageous man of righteousness).
