Notes
- ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
- ^ The koel is a long-tailed cuckoo. The name of the bird is onomatopoeic, deriving from the sound of its call. Because of its long tail, it may be conceived of as a hybrid of the peacock with the cuckoo. The imagery in this line is of a peacock, presumably the egoistic mind, singing like a cuckoo, widely considered to be the only bird that sings true music intervals, musical progressions that can be reproduced on a piano. In this case, the peacock call is in the "cuckoo's note", the perfect fifth, possibly symbolic of complete harmony with the Supreme. It should be noted that in nature (in real life), the peacock does not generally sing so sweetly and harmonically as the cuckoo.
