107. Shrimant Maharaj Bhonsle-yanchi Bakhar [of Shedgaon], pub. by V. L. Bhabe (Thana, 1917.) Utterly worthless expansion of Sabhasad with forged letters and imaginary details. Probably composed under the patronage of the Rajah of Satara (circa 1820-1840.)

108. Two alleged old bakhars (called More-yanchi Chhoti Bakhar and Mahabaleshwar-chi Juni Mahiti) pub. in Parasnis's Itihas Sangraha, Sfuta lekh, i. 21-29 and ii. 9-12. Full of palpable historical errors and deliberate fabrication (probably of the same factory and date as No. 107.)

109. Zedhe-yanchi Shakavali, ed. by B. C. Tilak in Chaturtha Sammelan Britta (Puna.) A bare record of events with dates, kept by the Zedhe family. From the nature of the work, it was written by different hands at different times. Its value depends on the fidelity with which these different memorandum-sheets were copied for the MS. that has come down to us. There are some evident mistakes, which we can detect with the help of the English and Persian sources; but they were due to the copyist and not to any deliberate fabrication. Contains some correct dates which no forger could have known. The dates are given in the Hindu luni-solar era of the Deccan and defy conversion to the Julian calendar, except approximately.
