Rajasthani scholar Hiralal Maheshwari commented and translated Bavji's couplets as follows5: Maharaj Catursinha (महाराज चतरसिंह 1880–1929) is considered a great yogi, bhakt and poet of Mewad, where his poems are still popular...he has pleaded for the uplift of women and farmers and desistance from all social evils, practices, and superstitions. He urged that children should be taught in their mother tongue. Here are three verses from Catur Cintamani (चतुर चिन्तांमणि): पर घर पग नी मैलणो, बना मान मनवार। अंजन आवै देखनै, सिंगल रो सतकार॥ 269 Don't step into a house unless respectfully and beseechingly invited. Even a railway engine steams into a station only when invited by the signal. ऊँध सूधने छोड़ने, करणो काम पछाण। कर ऊँधो सूँधो घड़ो, तरती भरती दाँण॥ 273 Invert or upward as strictly as occasion demands. Invert the pitcher if you have to swim with it and turn it up if you want to fill it with water. भावै लख भगवंत जश, भावे गाळाँ भाँड। द्वात कलम रो दोष नी, मन व्हे' ज्यो ही मांड॥ 286 Pen and ink are not responsible for the contents of the script. With them you can write obeisance or obscenity according to the dictates of your mind. A bard has rightly said of him: Bhuja Chatur sukh de bhalo,varan chatur ney both. Maas Chatur soo jull-unn miley, gyan Chatur Gahlot. भुजा चतुर सुख दे भलो, बरण चतुर ने बोत। मास चतुर सूं जळ-अन्न मिले, ज्ञान चतुर गहलोत। The four armed Almighty provides pleasure to all the four sections of the society, The four months of monsoon provide us water & food where as Chatur Gahlot provides us blissful knowledge! On the occasion of 132nd birthday of Bavji (22 January 2012), nonagenarian Radheyshyam Mehta brought out a booklet with 108 couplets in honor of Bavji- "चतुर चितारणी (स्मरणाञ्जलि)Chatur Remembrance". Sample these three: तिलक करे छापा करे, भगमा भेष वणाय। चतुर सन्त री सादगी, सन्ता ऊपर जाय॥23 Holy men smear forehead/ body and wear saffron clothing (& remain unmarried), but Chatur leads a domestic simple life and still attains higher stature. पगे पगरखी गांवरी, ऊँची धोती पैर। कांधे ज्ञान पछेवड़ो, चतुर चमक चहुँफेर॥50 A villager's footwear & leg wear, on the shoulder is the cloth-sheet of knowledge, still the radiance of Chatur is everywhere. Bavji was strong advocate of women's education which is acknowledged thus: कूकी ने काका लिख्यो, पोथी थोड़ी वांच। एक पोथी मन धार ले, जाणेगा थूं सांच॥90 Niece
