Explanation:

Dadoji Kondadeo was an administrator of the Poona jagir and the nearby Kondana fort. He was appointed by Shahaji, a noble and general of the Adilshahi sultanate of Bijapur.^[1] He may have been significant in the personal development of the young Shivaji, later founder of the Maratha Empire, although this is disputed as being a fictitious claim introduced by Brahmin historians.
