Explanation:

Balaji Vishwanath (Bhat) (1662–1720), better known as Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath, was the first of a series of hereditary Peshwas (Marathi for Prime Minister) hailing from the Marathi speaking Chitpavan Kokanastha Hindu family who gained effective control of the Maratha Empire during the 18th century. Balaji Vishwanath assisted a young Maratha Emperor Shahu to consolidate his grip on a kingdom that had been racked by civil war and persistent attack by the Mughals under Aurangzeb. He was called "the second founder of the Maratha State." Later,his son Bajirao became the peshwa. His second son Chimnaji Appa won the vasai fort.
Shahuji Bhosle (1682–1749 CE) was the fifth Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire created by his grandfather, Chhatrapati Shivaji. More popularly known as Chatrapati Shahu, he came out of captivity by the Mughals and defeated his aunt Tarabai in an internecine conflict to gain the throne in 1708. After the death of Aurangzeb, leading Mughal courtiers released Shahu with a force of fifty men, thinking that a friendly Maratha leader would be a useful ally.
He was son of the second Chhatrapati Sambhaji and grandson of Chhatrapati Shivaji.Under his reign, Maratha power and influence extended to all corners of the Indian subcontinent.However, after his death Marathas saw power moving from the Chhatrapati to his ministers (The Peshwa) and the generals who had carved out their own fiefdoms such as the Shindes, Holkars, Gaikwad and Bhosale of Nagpur
