👑 Devi Mahakali's PRAISE of Dharamveer Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja ⚔️
The great Maratha Emperor's true glory is laid out in his Sanskrit Biography, named as Ansha-Avataram Anupurana which was written by THREE successive generations of Nevaskar Mahakavi Brahman Pandit family.
At Shringarpur, after Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja completed his successful Putra-Kameshti Yajna (to get a Son), Devi Mahakali Herself gave Him Her Darshana and then glorified Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja with a Stuti of His beauty, and power.
