Namdev, the saint, had a word
For chatak , the legendary bird
Who drank only the water, that
Rohini nakshatra conferred!!
He called the chatak, a love bird
For the bird showered love on
rohini nakshatra by defying own
Thirst, to get a drop of sky wizard!
Namdev was no less a lover, for
It was Vitthal he always sang for.
He lived all life, on the remnants
Of offerings, made to Vitthal lore!
Namdev sang the Vitthal lore
For the Lord stood at the door
Of His devotee , as long as he
Attended to his old parent’s sore!
Devotee’s devotee? That’s Vitthal !
Shall I call him , Namdev’s Vitthal ?
Chatak’s love for rohini nakshatra
Is Namdev’s template for his Vitthal !
Om Shantih
