The Sat Sai or 'seven hundred' verses is an early vernacular text written in the early Braj Bhasha proto-dialect of Hindi. It follows in the tradition of religious texts focusing on the romance of Krishna and Radha. The work itself contains couplets on neeit (moral lessons), shringara (love) and most importantly bhakti (devotion). Bihari Lal was a poet at the court of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan who was later invited by Raja Jai Singh of Amber to move to his court. It is at Amber that Bihari Lal is supposed to have composed the Sat Sai.
