On the earth there lived Kahnaji, a learned man known in the world. He was the chief among astrologers. He moved freely in the Vedas and the law books. He was an ornament of the circle of the wise. He was like the morning light in the court of the king of Gujarat, a king of great qualities. He was the jewel of a family of great poets.
Simple meaning: Kahnaji was a great astrologer and scholar, honoured in the court of the king of Gujarat.
