Mira Bai was a Hindu mystic and saint in the 16th century. Though born a Rajput princess, she was drawn to the god Krishna since childhood. Mira Bai rejected traditional roles for women after the death of her husband, choosing instead to spend her life worshipping that incarnation of Vishnu as her divine lover. She is best known as a poet who composed bhajans, lyrical songs of devotion. Here is one of the most famous of these pieces.

Yes! I have found the gracious wealth of his holy name.
I have received the priceless jewel from my one true teacher.
The reward of many lifetimes, after losing the rest of the world.
No man can spend or steal it. Day by day it grows and grows.
On the boat of truth he rows me across the sea of being—
Mira’s regal Lord Krishna, whom I joyfully, joyfully praise!

Pāyo jī, maine nāma raṭana dhana pāyo
bastu amolaka dī mere satguru, kirpā kari apanāyo
janma janma kī puñjī pāī, jaga meń sabai khovāyo
kharcai nahiń koī, cora na levai, dina dina baḍhata savāyo
sat kī nāva khevaṭiyā satguru, bhavasāgara tara āyo
Mīrā ke prabhu Giridhara nāgara, harakha harakha jasa gāyo!
