TRANSLATION

I have found, yes, I have found the wealth of the gem of chanting the Holy Name.

  1. My true spiritual master gave me a priceless thing. With his grace, I accepted it.

 

I found the treasure of my several births; I have lost the whole rest of the world.

 

No one can spend it, no one can steal it. Day by day it increases one and a quarter times.

 

On the boat of truth, the boatman was my true guru. I came across the ocean of existence.

 

The Lord of Mira Bai is the Courtly Lord Giridhara , of whom I merrily, merrily sing His glories.

 

REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

The song presented above is the original bhajan Mira Bai had written. Many people, incorrectly, know of this song as “ payoji

maine

rāma

ratana

dhana

payo ” which means “yes, indeed, I have attained the jewel of Lord Rama .” It is often rendered in Raga Pahadi in Bhajani

Tala .
