Ask Alok da

Alok Da, in the poem Baji Prabhu – it was 500 vs 12,000, right? Tannaji says, ‘Give me 500 people. ‘ Then you mentioned Sri Aurobindo saying 200 be 12,000. Later in the poem, it says 50 swords. Can you please explain the number? How many Shivaji took with him? How many Baji Prabhu have? 🌄⚔️

There is no exact number reported, but around 200 to 300 against 12,000. Shiva ji took 300 with him.

(Follow-up Question🙂

About 50 swords? Was it like they split?

Yes. They split.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
