Notes: These songs were first published in the monsoon of 1881.
These songs were written on the occasion of the marriage of Leelabati, the fourth daughter of Raj Narayan Basu with Krishna Kumar Mitra on 25th July 1881. Raj Narayan Basu was once appointed as a tutor for Rabindranath in his childhood. These were the first songs written by the poet for a marriage. He had attached a note for Jogindranath Basu, elder son of Raj Narayan, that read 'I hereby, send you two songs for the marriage. Please accept if approved.' The two songs were
Dui Hridayer nadi -Sahana/Jhaptaal and Mahaguru, Duti Chhatra Esechhe Tomar - Jayjayanti/ Jhaptaal.
Apart from other minor changes the first line was changed as 'Shubhodine Esechhe Dnohe Charone Tomar...'.
Sahana Devi in her memoir 'Smritir Kheya' had quoted her mother saying how Rabindranath himself had sung the song in his incredibly powerful voice.

Tumi hey premer robi aalo kori charachar Jato karo bitaran akhhay tomar kar. Dujoner aankhi pare tumi thaako aalo kore - Ta hole aandhare aar balo hey kiser dar. Tomare haaray jodi dujone haarabe dnohe - Dujone knaadibe bosi andho hoye ghano mohe, Emoni aandhar hobe paashapaashi bose rabe Tobuo dnohar mukh chinibe na paraspar. Dekho, probhu, chiradin aankhi pare theko jege - Tomare dhaake na jeno sangsarer ghano meghe. Tomari aaloke bosi ujal-aanon-shoshi Ubhaye ubhaye here pulakitokalebar.
