Explanation

Murarbaji Deshpande was the military commander of Purandar fort who famously defended it against the Mughal forces led by Mirza Raje Jai Singh in 1665. His legendary resistance and eventual martyrdom are celebrated in Maratha history. Netaji Palkar served elsewhere, Baji Prabhu is associated with Pavankhind, and Moraji Panth is not a documented historical figure.
