He resolved to compose around 22,000 kirtans or compositions. Mehta, as the popular account goes, at Krishna's command, decided to sing His praises and the nectarous experience of the rasa in this mortal world. A legend has it that the poet, transfixed by the spectacle, burnt his hand with the torch he was holding, but he was so engrossed in the ecstatic vision that he was oblivious to the pain. On the poet's request, the Lord took him to Vrindavan and showed him the eternal raas leela of Krishna and the Gopis. One day, when Narasinh Mehta had enough of these taunts and insults, he left the house and went to a nearby forest in search of some peace, where he fasted and meditated for seven days by a secluded Shiva lingam until Shiva appeared before him in person. She was an ill-tempered woman, always taunting and insulting Narsinh Mehta for his devotion (Bhakti). However, Bansidhar's wife (Sister-in-law or bhabhi) did not welcome Narsinh very well. Mehta and his wife stayed at his brother Bansidhar's house in Junagadh. He married Manekbai probably in the year 1429. He was raised by his grandmother Jaygauri. He could not speak until the age of eight. He lost his parents when he was five years old. His father held an administrative post in a royal court. Narsinh Mehta was born in a Nagar Brahmin family at Talaja and later moved to Junagadh in Saurashtra peninsula of modern-day Gujarat.
