Description: Identify the narrative viewpoint employed in the above passage.

Solution

The narrative viewpoint in the given excerpt is third-person.

The passage uses a third person narrative viewpoint because it describes the scene and Shivaji's actions from an external perspective, using third person pronouns like "he" and "his."

It does not use "I" (first person) or "you" (second person), and there is no shift between different narrative perspectives, ruling out a mixed narrative.
