Pag Ghunghroo Bandh Mira Nachi Re - Mira Bai



Tying anklets to her feet, in abandon Mira dances. She says, “I have become a slave to my Narayan*.”

The king sent a goblet of poison as a gift. Mira drank it all in one gulp, and laughed. Tying anklets to her feet, in abandon Mira danced.

People say, “Look! Mira the crazy woman” Relatives say, “Look! Destroyer of clan’s respect” Mira says, “I have become a citizen of Giridhar’s* city. What is sanity there, what is clan’s respect!” Tying anklets to the feet, in abandon Mira dances.

*Narayan(a) = literally nara (human) + ayana (eternal , without ending). Refers to Lord Vishnu.

*Giridhar = One who holds high the mountains.
