Q: Why can I not add "Shri", "Chhatrapati", or "Maharaj" to Shivaji's name?
A: As per
WP:Honorifics and
WP:Commonname, in
Wikipedia, we refer to people by their commonly used name in the
cited academic sources. We do not include titles or
Honorifics unless they are commonly used in the cited sources (Shivaji does not fall in this category). Please note
Charles III, where he is referred to as "Charles" throughout, not "King Charles" nor "His Royal Highness" or whatnot. We clearly note Shivaji's titles in the article, we just don't repeat them each time his name is written. Please refer to
this talk discussion for more details.
This article is written in
Indian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, analysed, defence) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other
varieties of English. According to the
relevant style guide, this should not be changed without
broad consensus.
Shivaji was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the
good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be
renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

What is the source of the comment "But even this failed to satisfy the greed of the Brahmins."?
This seems like a comment rather than a fact. Is this the bias of the writer? I think wikipedia should refrain from making statements like this which could be opinions of a book writer.
