Summary

This Hindi paper explores the devotional poetry of Māva‑Nāvāji, a Gujarati poet associated with the Vaishnava bhakti movement. The author provides biographical sketches and analyses selected verses praising Lord Krishna. Māva‑Nāvāji uses vernacular metre and colloquial diction to express complex theological ideas, blending pastoral imagery with reflections on divine love and the soul’s yearning. Influences from earlier poets like Narsinh Mehta and possible Jain narrative motifs are noted. The article argues that Māva‑Nāvāji’s works exemplify how regional languages were employed to convey spiritual concepts to lay audiences. यह हिंदी शोध‑पत्र [translate:मावा‑नावाजी] (Māva‑Nāvāji) की भक्तिकाव्य‑रचनाओं का अध्ययन प्रस्तुत करता है, जो गुजराती कवि थे और [translate:वैष्णव भक्ति आंदोलन] (Vaiṣṇava bhakti movement) से जुड़े हुए माने जाते हैं। लेखक ने उनका संक्षिप्त जीवचरित प्रस्तुत करते हुए श्रीकृष्ण की स्तुति में रचित चयनित पदों का विश्लेषण किया है। मावा‑नावाजी ने देशज छंदों और जनभाषा की सरल अभिव्यक्ति के माध्यम से गूढ़ दार्शनिक विचारों को प्रकट किया है। उनकी कविता में गोपाल‑लीला की ग्रामीण चित्रावली के साथ दैवी प्रेम और आत्मा की ललक के सूक्ष्म अनुभवों का सुंदर संयोजन दिखाई देता है। लेख में पूर्ववर्ती कवियों जैसे [translate:नरसी मेहता] (Narsinh Mehta) का प्रभाव और संभावित जैन कथात्मक प्रेरणाएँ भी उल्लेखित की गई हैं। अंततः लेख यह तर्क प्रस्तुत करता है कि मावा‑नावाजी का काव्य यह दर्शाता है कि क्षेत्रीय भाषाओं का प्रयोग आध्यात्मिक विचारों को सामान्य जन तक पहुँचाने के लिए किस प्रकार किया गया।

Conclusion

The analysis of Māva‑Nāvāji’s poetry reveals a synthesis of regional language and devotional expression. By writing in Gujarati, the poet made Vaishnava philosophy accessible and emotionally resonant. His verses, rich with pastoral and metaphysical imagery, highlight the inclusive spirit of the bhakti tradition. [translate:मावा‑नावाजी] (Māva‑Nāvāji) के काव्य‑विश्लेषण से यह स्पष्ट होता है कि उन्होंने क्षेत्रीय भाषा और भक्ति‑भावना का एक सुंदर संगम प्रस्तुत किया। गुजराती भाषा में लेखन करके कवि ने [translate:वैष्णव दर्शन] (Vaiṣṇava philosophy) को जनसामान्य के लिए सुगम और भावनात्मक रूप से स्पर्शनीय बनाया। उनके पदों में ग्रामीण जीवन और अध्यात्मिक चिंतन के चित्रों की संपन्नता दिखाई देती है, जो भक्ति परंपरा की समावेशी भावना को प्रतिबिंबित करती है।
