Yes, I have seen that variant of the story too, where he is taken to his maternal house. I am not sure how one can choose between that the version where he was with Ajay Singh.The Maharatta chronicles follow the latter version. As per the later version he was 12 years old or something like that when Ajay's party states he must be tested and asks him to go kill Munja.
