The Poet Bihari Offers Homage to Radha and Krishna

Bihari (1595-1664) was a hindi poet, who is famous for writing Satasai (Seven Hundred Verses). Bihari wrote poetry in shringar ras depicting the divine love of Krishna and Radha. One of the famous doha (couplet) written by Bihari is

Satsaiya ke dohre jyun naavik ke teer
Dekhan men chote lage ghaav kare ghambir.

The rough translation is: The poet Satsaya couplet's are like the arrows of sailor. Looks small in size but causes serious injury.
