Notes
- ^ The dialect of this song is uncertain. But from some words in the song, it might be related to Oriya.
- ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
- ^ In Prabhat Samgiita, bandhu (বন্ধু), baṋdhu (বঁধু), and baṋdhuyá (বঁধুয়া) are appellations often used by Sarkar to address Shiva. The meaning of these three terms is roughly the same. They are all suggestive of a long-time friend, but the latter two carry a greater sense of intimacy.
- ^ From mahuwa flowers, Indian tribal people manufacture a sweet jam for eating, a syrup for medicinal purposes, and even a colorless liquor, similar to the Japanese sake. In English vernacular, mahuwa is sometimes known as the honey tree or butter tree.
- ^ This verse is rich with spiritual symbolism, as it brings to an end a series of eight songs (beginning with Song 501: Diner aloy kena aso ni), all focused on the concept of Parama Purusa revealing Himself amid darkness. Here we discover how darkness not only leads to light but also love.
