Chhatrapati Shri Shivaji Maharaj, 1961 - Brochure

Though Śrī Śivaji Mahārāj, the personality, stamp or FDC have no connections with Sanskrit, the front cover page of the brochure contains a verse in Sanskrit, as given below:

 

I have not yet been able to trace the source of this verse. On the brochure it is printed in the North Indian style of pronunciation. It is re-typed below with the correct grammatical form:

प्रतिपच्चन्द्ररेखेव वर्धिष्णुर्विश्ववन्दिता ।

शाहसूनोः शिवस्यैषा मुद्रा भद्राय राजते ॥

pratipachhandralekheva vardhiṣṇur viśvavanditā 

śāhasūnoḥ śivasyaiṣā mudrā bhadrāya rājate

This Royal Seal of Śiva, the son of Shāh, increasing in brilliance like the moon on the Pratipad - the first day after the New Moon - shall shine auspiciously command the homage of the entire world.

Here the SEAL (Mudra) is figuratively taken as Stamp, to suit the occasion.

The stamp was released on the 12th of April, 1961 along with an FDC.
