It's Sanskrit, not Hindi.

Agre = at the front, forward

Dhavati = procedes, advances, runs, also: attacks

Agre dhavati dhavati = he/one advances steadily to the fore, or suchlike.

Thanks very much Ghost. I apologize for my ignorance.

So 'advancing steadily to the front'? Could you use it in a context? Thanks!

[The Ghost of Phoolan Devi]

No problem.

This very phrase is part of a Hindu shloka: "Purva jamnarjitam vidya, purva janmarjitam dhanam, agre dhavati dhavati".

Mind you that Sanskrit has often very multi-layered meanings and translations are often also "interpretations". But I think you'll get the gist from these links.

Uff, wish my Sanskrit wasn't that rusty!
