<a id="line-2"></a>Gaura tanu chidānanda balihāra.  
<a id="line-3"></a>agaṇita chandra sindhu manthana kari, nikase jo rasa sāra.  
<a id="line-4"></a>mathi rasa sārahuṁ sāra tatva so, kānti gaura sarakāra.  
<a id="line-5"></a>chinmaya divya gaura tanu duti janu, dāmini divya nihāra.  
<a id="line-6"></a>nāgari tanu duti lakhata girata naṭa, nāgara dharaṇi majhāra.  
<a id="line-7"></a>rati rasa nāgari guṇa āgari para, aganita rati dauṁ vāra.  
<a id="line-8"></a>kaha ‘Kṛipālu’ tanu roma romate, baha braja rasa kī dhāra.

Published English meaning — Dr. Bageeshwari Devi

<a id="line-9"></a>I offer myself upon the unparalleled Divine form of Kishorī Jī. Imagine  
<a id="line-10"></a>an ocean of countless moons; churn this ocean to obtain its essence.  
<a id="line-11"></a>Again churn this essence to obtain the absolute pure concentrated essence.  
<a id="line-12"></a>The unique glow of this final essence can be imagined as the Divine  
<a id="line-13"></a>effulgence of Kishorī Jī’s form. The effulgence of Her transcendental  
<a id="line-14"></a>Divine form is like Divine illumination (lightening). Seeing the dazzling  
<a id="line-15"></a>radiance of this form Shrī Kṛishṇa falls unconscious in ecstasy. Countless  
<a id="line-16"></a>Ratis can be made an offering upon Rādhā Rānī who is the very ocean  
<a id="line-17"></a>of love and the reservoir of all Divine qualities. The saint poet ‘Kṛipālu’  
<a id="line-18"></a>says that the nectar of Braja flows from every pore of Kishorī Jī’s Divine  
<a id="line-19"></a>form.
