Rajmudra(Royal Seal)

The objective of Shivaji Maharaj in founding Swaraj is clearly expressed in his official seal of that time. The following Sanskrit Lines are inscribed in it:
'प्रतिपच्चंद्रलेखेव वार्धिष्णुर्विश्ववंदिता 1 
शाह्सुनो: शिवस्येशा मुद्रा भद्राय राजते 11 '
Through his mudra, Shivaji Maharaj has assured his people that 'Ever-Increasing Like The Crescent Moon, The Kingdom Of Shivaji, The Son Of Shahaji, will always seek the welfare of the people.'
