PANDAVVADI
Pandavvadi (Wai T; 18° 05' N, 74° 00' E; RS. Wathar, 23 m. W; p. 600) a hamlet of Bhoganv village about three miles west of Wai, is apparently named like Pandavgad from the legendary Pandav princes. It is celebrated as the place where in 1673 died the great Maratha poet Vaman Pandit a contemporary of Shivaji, Tukaram and Ramdas. Vaman was originally an astrologer of Koreganv. He studied the Shastras at Banaras. His two great works are in the ovi metre, a commentary on the Bhagvadgita and a metaphysical work called the Nigamsar [Navanita (New Edition), 80-81.].
