Meaning
Oh Lord! I know my limitations and I cannot vie with highly knowledgeable people. I have not even heard as much as them, my humble creation is just not to be compared with their great verses, prayers and poetry. I would ask all of them:“See, have I created all these prayers deliberately? No, not at all. My small heart is overflowing with the love of God; therefore some words and stanzas have fallen here and there from it! What can I do for that?" Just look at that cuckoo. Just ask her if she knew the rules of music. Just ask her whether she knew about the meters and Ragãs: Tala & Laya (Rhythm)? She will reply that she is not singing in an orchestra. Nor she is willing to get auditioned for music. “See! Springs have come. That mango tree smiles, In fact, it is blossoming. The atmosphere is full of fragrance and very tempting. The blossoming mango, full of fragrance, tempts me to sing. If you want to listen, do so; and if you like, you may also sing. You name it a poem or a pun as you like. Who cares?"
