A very joyous state was maintained despite the war.
The only thing that troubled Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja is revealed at the end of the poem:
No legitimate male Maratha heir to carry forward his achievements and legacy. Everything ultimately seems pointless.
He confesses he has been performing Mahakali Sadhana.
Reach is dead?
After kanging hoarse about poems and literature made by Chattrapati Shambhuji Maharaja nobody could put forward any proper composition.
This is the first time a full composition is being presented in mainstream Hindu circles.
Circulate it everywhere, dont lax.
