Question

short note on Royal seal of chhatrapati shivaji maharaj​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is the Royal seal of Shivaji, the first Chhatrapati of the Maratha Empire. The script is Devanagari and language Sanskrit. It is usually stamped on the head of the letter, and in some cases, back. Loosely translated, it reads, "Ever growing in splendour like the moon on the first day of the bright half of the month, and adored by the world, this seal of Shivaji, the son of Shahaji, shines for the benediction of all"

Answer 2

Answer:

In his official seal or Rajmudra from that era, Shivaji Maharaj expresses his goal of building Swaraj quite clearly. It bears the following Sanskrit inscriptions:

'प्रतिपच्चंद्रलेखेव वार्धिष्णुर्विश्ववंदिता 1 शाह्सुनो: शिवस्येशा मुद्रा भद्राय राजते 11 '

Shivaji Maharaj has given his people the assurance through his mudra that "Ever-Increasing Like The Crescent Moon, The Kingdom Of Shivaji, The Son Of Shahaji, Will Always Seek the Welfare Of The People"

Explanation:

The language choice is significant in addition to the seal's profound and poetic content. Even his father and mother's seals were written in Persian before Shivaji. However, he established a brand-new cultural trend that both his ancestors and government figures copied in full. Sanskrit was chosen as a conscious nod to one's Hindu heritage.

Shivaji was a brilliant man who understood that dominance has many facets besides the military and economic ones. In addition to the other two, he concentrated on the cultural aspect. As a result, the Marathas felt highly confident in their cultural identity and looked at Hinduism with significantly increased pride.
