Early life
Murarbaji Deshpande was born into a Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhu (CKP) family and his native place was in Nadgaon (modern day Raigad district) as their family name "Nadkar" suggested, with roots in the Nachna town present in modern day Panna district, Madhya Pradesh. The Nadkar family's original clan name was Nachne, deriving from the town Nachna in Bundelkhand from where his ancestors migrated after the fall of Mandavgad. He commanded 700 mr (maratha troop) to attack Diler Khan.
