Satasai

The Satasai (Satsai) or Bihari Satsai (Seven Hundred Verses of Bihari) is a famous work of the early 17th century by the Hindi poet Bihārī, in the Braj Bhasha dialect of Hindi spoken in the Braj region of northern India.[1] It contains Dohas, or couplets, on Bhakti (devotion), Neeti (Moral policies) and Shringara (love).[citation needed]

An important work in the Ritikavya Kaal or Ritikaal[citation needed] of Hindi literature,[citation needed] the Satsai is today celebrated in paintings in various Indian miniature styles, particularly in the Kangra style,[2] as is the case with Jayadeva's Gita Govinda.
