Summary

Description
English: The traditional story that is told says that chatrapati shivaji maharaj disemboweled General Afzal Khan with steel 'tiger claws' [Hindi-Bagh nakh¹]. Chatrapati shivaji wore iron armour under his clothes to protect himself in case of counter attack from afzal, then, he pulled out his hand and slid his hand across afzal Khan's back, which ultimately lead to his afzal Khan's death. This story tells us that chatrapati was a very mechanical and smart person in general, his preparation for the guessed attack proves that to be a king, politeness, and in general, smartness, is needed. (Chitrashala Press, Poona, 1920's, Author - Madhurya Dwivedi)
