Paij pratipal bhumi-bhaar ko hamaal - by Bhushan Kavi (poet Bhushan)
पैज प्रतिपाल, भूमिभार को हमाल,
चहुँचक्क को सम्हाल, भयो दंडक जहान को |
साहिन को साल भयो, ज्वाल को जवाल भयो,
कर को कृपाल भयो, हार के बिधान को ||
बीर-रस ख्याल सिवराज भुवपाल तुव,
हाथ को बिसाल भयो, भूषन बखान को ?
तेरो करताल भयो, दच्छिन की ढाल भयो,
हिंदू को दिवाल भयो, काल तुरकान को ||
कवि भूषण - छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज पर कविता - “शिवराज भूषण” में से
Poem by #kavibhushan
Paij pratipal, bhoomi-bhaar ko hamaal,
Chahu chakk ko sambhal, bhayo dandak jaahaan ko |
Saahin ki saal bhayo, jwaal ko jawaal bhayo,
Kar ko krapaal bhayo, haar ke bidhaan ko ||
Beer-ras khyaal Sivaraaj bhuvpaal tuv,
Haath ko bisaal bhayo, Bhushan bakhaan ko?
Tero kartaal bhayo dachchhin ki dhaal bhayo,
Hindu ko diwaal bhayo, kaal Turkaan ko ||
Poet Bhushan in praise of #chhatrapatishivajimaharaj - from #ShivraajBhushan
This story of Kavi Bhushan meeting Shivaji Raje has been described over generations and thus has many variations to it. The presence of variations makes it look like a "dant katha" or "kimvaidanti".
In the explanation of the poem in this video, you can find a reference to history - the breakup of the Bahmani Sultanate into 5 sultanates - viz., Nizamshahi of Ahmednagar, Imadshahi of Berar (modern day Amaravati division in Maharashtra), Baridshahi of Bidar, Qutubshahi of Golconda (Hyderabad and thereabouts in Telangana, parts of Andhra, and southern Odisha), and Adilshahi of Bijapur.
You shall also find references to the "mund-maal" of Goddess Kali, Shivaji's victory of Jawali (in Satara district, Maharashtra), and more.
This poem brings about both the "Daanveer" and "Dharmaveer" character attributes of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The subtle reference to "aajaanubhuja" is yet another place where Shivaji Maharaj is compared with avatars of Lord Vishnu. Kavi Bhushan is not alone in making such comparisons with respect to Shivrai.
The timeline of this first meeting of #kavibhushan with #shivajiraje has been postulated in many research texts. Some references are:
Bhushan Granthawali - 1: Edited by Shyam Bihari Mishra and Shukdev Bihari Mishra. Published by Naagari Prachaarini Sabha in 1916 CE
Bhushan Granthawali: Edited by Vishwanath Prasad Mishra, Ramakant Chubey, Shridevacharya, Bajrangbali Gupta Mohanvallabh Pant. Published by Sahitya Sevak Karyalaya, Kashi in 1938 CE
* About poet Bhushan and his poetry *
As explained in this video, #bhushan was a title conferred on the poet by a zamindar in the Bundelkhand region - somewhere around modern day Chitrakoot. Kavi Bhushan’s original name has been lost during the course of history. With time - and particularly after his induction into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s court, Kavi Bhushan came to be referred to as “Kaviraj” or the ‘King of Poets’. This is on account of the impact of his poetry.
Bhushan uses “veer rasa” (the sentiment of valor) as the primary flavor in his poems. This is most appropriate as he has described the deeds of the valorous Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the courageous Bundela king, Maharaja Chhatrasal. Kaviraj Bhushan also blends other rasas such as “haasya” (humor), “raudra / rudra” (terrible), “bhayaanak” (frightful), “beebhatsa” (ugly) along with veer rasa. Kavi Bhushan has also used “vyangya” (satire) in many places.
This poem is from the Reeti Kaal (Riti Kaal) of poetry in Hindi language. This refers to a period in the history of Hindi language poetry that spanned over three centuries during medieval India between the sixteen and latter part of the nineteenth century.
* About this video *
This video on one of Kaviraj Bhushan’s poems can be useful for school children, their parents, and for all who love lyrical, rhythmical poetry.
Explanations of Kavi Bhushan’s poems on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj are also useful for students of MA (Hindi). In MA (Hindi) courses, Kaviraj Bhushan is often a subject of various electives. Such is the depth of his poems, that not all of them are included in these syllabi. Many poems from Shivaraj Bhushan and Shiva Bavani are included. In some MA (Hindi) syllabi, the entire Shiva Bavani is part of the curriculum.
