Later Life & Death
In 1707, Shahu was released by the Mughals and the civil war between him and Tarabai commenced. Unlike many others, Parshuram Pant remained loyal to Tarabai and fought against Shahu but was defeated and subsequently imprisoned. In 1710, he was released and was earnestly requested by Shahu to assume the post of Pratinidhi which he did with little hesitation. Even though he was granted a separate feudal estate (jehagiri) at Aundh near Karad, he was allowed to keep his existing jehagiri at Fort Vishalgad as well. His disobedience, however, compelled Shahu to put him in prison twice during 1710 to 1714, but subsequently, he was released and restored after settling some disputable issues. Being a genuine devotee of the Hindu Goddess Yami, he wrote a few poems praising the goddess and received great respect and honor until his death in 1718. His son Shrinivasrao alias Shripatrao was appointed by Shahu to succeed him.

“The anti-suffragist talk of sheltering women from the fierce storms of life is a lot of cant. I have no patience with it. These storms beat on woman just as fiercely as they do on man, and she is not trained to defend herself against them.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter’s honor.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
