The sole purpose of this video is to enable non-marathi fans of Shivaji Maharaj, anywhere in the world, to understand the lyrics of this beautiful song.
This song particularly describes the scenario at the time of Coronation ceremony of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Maratha army was gaining strength day by day and empire was expanding in all directions.
To control a powerful and huge army and to run a welfare state, Shivaji Maharaj coalesced all "Deshmukhis" (the powerful Muslim and Hindu fief-holders were tax collectors) under the central government her formed.
He decided to have himself crowned as a Hindu king, a Kshatriya king, and - at a stroke solved many major and minor problems.
