TRANSLATION
1)
I have found, yes, I have found the wealth of the gem of chanting the Holy
Name.
2) My true spiritual master gave me a priceless thing. With his grace, I
accepted it.
3)
I found the treasure of my several births; I have lost the whole rest of the
world.
4)
No one can spend it, no one can steal it. Day by day it increases one and a
quarter times.
5)
On the boat of truth, the boatman was my true guru. I came across the ocean of
existence.
6)
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.
