બાપુ કહે -બા, જાઃ આપ તો મોટા રાજા!
— Jhaverchand Meghani
Meaning

is: Bapu tells his mother to go, acknowledging her as a great king.

Explanation

This couplet captures a touching moment, possibly between Mahatma Gandhi, affectionately known as Bapu, and Kasturbai, referred to as Ba. Bapu gently tells Ba to go, perhaps in a playful or lighthearted way. But immediately, he adds, "You are a big king!" This isn't literal. It's Bapu's way of showing immense respect and acknowledging Ba's strong presence and authority, even within their simple life. It highlights his deep regard for her, recognizing her as a powerful and influential figure in his life, despite any light command.
