It is reported that Shiva Simha was heavily influenced by Brahmins and Astrologers at his court and was worried that his reign would turn out to be a short one; therefore, in AD 1722 (Sk. 1644) he declared his queen, Phulesvari to be ruler in his place. A couple of years later her position must have strengthened to the extent that we find her name cited on all the coinage, not just the Mohurs and Rupees, and in such a way that the coins appear to be issued by the queen rather than the king.
