 KABIWALAS 347 যার স্বভাব লম্পট সই তার কি এ বোধ আছে কি করিবে তব প্রেম অনুরোধ, অতি দৃঢ় উন্ভয়েতে হওয়া এ কেমন এ হেন মিলন না দেখি কখন, রঘু বলে কোথা মিলে OETA WHA | Of the last disciple of Goijla, Ramji Das, nothing absolutely is known except that Bhabani Bauik (as well as Nitai Das) was his disciple ; and no work of his has survived. Only one song, however, which is often attributed to Nitai,! bears the dhanita of Ramji Das. It is in no way very remarkable Ramji Das, except for its ingenuity and fancifulness. We hear also Kestaé Muchi who remained outside this group but who belonged to this generation, as a very popular songster much sought after ee eS and respected, although obviously he was a shoemaker by caste. Even later on Haru Thakur, himself a Brahman, did not disdain to cross swords with him; but we are told that Haru Thakur, at that time a young man probably, had the worse luck of the duel. It is a pity wedo not know much of this mysterious figure. Inspite of all his efforts [svar Gupta could not get hold of more than one incomplete fragment of this old os/a/, itself not a very good specimen? হরি, কে বুঝে তোমার এ লীলে। ভাল প্রেম করিলে ॥ হইলে ভূপতি, কুবুজা যুবতী পাইয়ে শ্রীপতি শ্রীমতী রাঁধারে রহিলে ভুলে । সে কেনরাধারে কলঙ্কিণী করে রাখিলে | বুঝিতে নারি সখি ম্যামের এ লীলে॥ The song, too long for quotation will be found in Gupta-ratnoddhar, p. 184; Kabioyaladiger Git, p. 116,
