Ample evidence

“Sivaji left Haiderabad [Hyderabad] in March 1677 and marched towards the Krishna. From Karnul [now Kurnool], he proceeded to Nivritti Sangam, where Bhavanasi river flows into the Krishna, 24 miles north-east of Karnul, a spot considered by Hindus as the most holy place of pilgrimage,” Mr. Sarma said, quoting Sivaji and his Times . “The Rajah bathed in the whirlpool of Chakratirtha, performed religious ceremonies of a pilgrim and then made a rapid journey to Shri Shaila, while his army waited for him at Anantapur,” the book says, according to Sarma.

“At Srisailam, Sivaji was presented with a mystical sword by Goddess Sri Bhramaramba Devi and blessed him with victory in all his conquests. A sculpture in the Srisailam temple showing Shivaji kneeling before Sri Bhramaramba Devi and receiving the sword is ample evidence,” he added.

Anna to be correct

the folkfore is Tulja Bhavani mata gave him the sword, not Srisailam but in Tuljapur as Afzalkhan tried to destroy that temple.

it is just a story folkfore spread across during the times of Maratha war. Shivaji and marathas were at backfoot and they neede a moral booster. Aa time lo e story spread aindi. 
Fact is Shivaji was gifted that sword by Sawants,
