Shivaji gave himself the title of Chhatrapati so that the mentioned title could replicate his being as a master.

Explanation:

  • In Marathi, the title has two different segmentsChatra which means umbrella and pati mean master or ruler describing the master of his subjects. He wanted to adopt a different title describing himself as the protector which is depicted from Chatra.
  • Few of which are already taken up by Mughal and others. This very title describes himself as the one who takes care of his subjects protecting them from above just like the umbrella does.
