Sant Kabir’s lyrical Chanderi
चदरिया झीनी रे झीनी, राम नाम रस भीनी।
अष्ट कमल का चरखा बनाया, पाँच तत्व की पूनी।
नौ दस मास बुनन को लागे, मूरख मैली कीनी।
The cloth is woven fine, soaked in the essence of the Lord’s name. The loom is made of eight lotus petals, the yarn spun from the five elements. It takes nine or ten months to weave, yet the ignorant soil it with impurity.
