This paper deals with a chapter of AmÄnat RÄyâs Persian verse translation of the BhÄgavata PurÄá¹a, completed in Delhi in 1732-33, and a section of the Ṭūr-i maÊ¿rifat by his poetic and philosophical mentor MÄ«rzÄ Ê¿Abd al-QÄdir BÄ«dil (1644-1720), a mathnawÄ« describing the monsoon in a hilly region of present day Rajasthan. The aim of our brief analysis is to introduce a debate on the poetics of physis in early modern Persian literary culture, in the context of a wider project on BÄ«dil and nature. Through a guided reading of the two authorsâ description of the cloud (abr), its interactions with the Sanskritic literary practices and conventions, and the diverse intertextual ties, we show how the connected analogical and metaphorical procedures employed create two complementary ways of dealing with the phenomenology of (natural) existence.
