Surdas was a mystic, poet and bard of 16th century India. An ocean of melody sprang from his inner divine vision, of his Lord, Krishna. His songs are still sung across India today.
Here is Surdas’ song in Hindi, Deenan Dukh Haran Dev, sung by Jagjit Singh. A song in praise, of the One who wipes out the suffering of the poor and uplifts the people.

deenan dukh haran dev santan hitakaari
ajaamil gidh byaadh inamein kah kaun saadh
panchhi ko pada padhaat ganikaasi taari
dhruv ke sar chhatra det prahlaad ko ubaar let
bhakt het baandhyo set lankapuri jaari
tandul det rijh jaat saag paat son aghaat
ginat nahin juuthe phal khaate mithe khaari
itane hari aaye gaye basanan aaruudh bhaye
suuradaas dvaare khado aandharo bhikaari
Here’s the same song rendered in the Carnatic style, by P Unnikrishnan.

so beautifully rendered by both Jagjith sing and unnikrishnan in their own styles! A soul stiiring divine composition of Surdas!!
ReplyDeleteCan some one please explain the meaning of the last two lines of this wonderful bhajan?
ReplyDeleteThe second last line is incomplete without another stanza that's missing from the given lyrics. It goes like this:
ReplyDeleteGaj ko jab graah grasyo
Dushshaasan cheer khasyo
Sabha beech Krishna Krishna
Draupadi pukaari
which means... (in continuation with other anecdotes wherein devotees cry for the Lord) when the elephant (gaj) was swallowed by the crocodile (graah), and when Dushshaasan (one of the Kauravas) pulled the robe (saari of Pandava queen Draupadi), in the midst of the court/assembly (sabha beech), Draupadi called, "Krishna, Krishna!"
Itane Hari aaye gaye
Basanan Aarodh bhaye
In a moment (itne mein) Hari arrived, riding on the ever-extending robe (vasan = cloth, basanan = clothes in Braj dialect, aaroodh = riding)
Soordas dwaar khadyo aandhro bhikhaari
(In the same way) Soordas, (like a) blind beggar, is standing (waiting) at the door (for his Lord's arrival).
Thanks a ton Manoj ji. May Dwarkadheesh bless you with unlimited faith and love for His Lotus Feet.

Can someone please explain the meaning of following lines
ReplyDeletepanchhi ko pada padhaat ganikaasi taari
tandul det rijh jaat saag paat son aghaat
ginat nahin juuthe phal khaate mithe khaari
Tandul refers to the gift...POHA.. brought by Sudama
Delete...krishna's childhood friend from Gokul. Sudama comes to visit him bearing that gift.. He cant afford anything elegant.
Krishna gladly accepts it to make him feel welcome and not hurt his feelings.
Juuthe phal refers to Shabari welcoming Rama and offering him
some fruit.But she wants to make sure they are not sour or bitter.
So she tastes each herself..thus the fruit is jutha
jutha...meaning half way eaten and thus UNCLEAN.
Some else can explain...
SAAG PAAT SON AGHAT.
