Narsi said ,”I will keep my Kedar raga as mortgage but please give the Brahmin the money he wants”. The thought that, he would be unable to sing in ‘Kedar’ and hence the happiness of communion with ShriKrushna would be lost, did not even come in selfless Narsi’s mind. The shrewd money lender had heard about his famous raga Kedar and hence suggested that Narsi could keep ‘Kedar’ as mortgage. Narsi agreed, as it was the only valuable asset he possessed. The money lender asked Narsi for something as security against the loan. Hesitatingly Brahmin replied that he needed 500 rupees. Narsi asked him how much money he wanted.

ShriKrushna also would be pleased and mesmerized when Narsi sang bhajans in ‘Kedar’. The raga Kedar when sung by him, brought him communion with ShriKrushna.

Narsi Mehta composed the famous ‘Vaishnav jana to’ bhajan
