## English whole-pad meaning
I perform the arati of beloved Banavārī (Shrī Kṛishṇa) and dearest Nathavārī (Shrī Rādhā). Crowns made of gold are glittering on Their heads and beautiful earrings are swaying in Their ears. Their eyes are brimming with the nectar of love. Their voice is extremely sweet and melodious. Their eyes are full of ardent love and Their ogles are sharp. Both of Them steal the heart of even Kāmadeva, the god of love and beauty. I sacrifice myself on the heart-stealing way They look at each other. The beauty of Their curly hair is beyond description. The style in which They move Their eyebrows is extremely bewitching. The redness of betel-leaves in Their mouth, the smile and the laughter of both of Them are extremely charming. The shimmer of Their teeth is excessively beautiful. Besides, the elegance of Their besara is adding an extraordinary charm to Their unparalleled beauty. A yellow silken robe is swaying gently on Bhagwan Kṛishṇa’s chest and a blue sari is gracing the divine body of Shrī Rādhā. Beautiful chains made of pearls are swaying on Their bosom. The jingling of Their bracelets and kiṅkinīs and the tinkling of Their anklets are producing a music which forcibly captivates the heart. A crown made of peacock-feathers beautifying Bhagwan Kṛishṇa’s head is exquisite, and so is the chunarī adorning the head of Shrī Rādhā. The loveliness of the gentle and enchanting slant of Their heads towards each other cannot be put into words. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that Shyāmasundara and Kishorī Jī are standing with Their arms around each other’s neck. The maidens of Braja are standing beside Them; and Priyā-Priyatama are looking at each other with piercing sidelong looks of love.

Hindi meanings are whole-pad meanings from the supplied scan. Five are unavailable. 1009 source-derived English meanings and Roman transliterations are available for Prem Ras Madira, from the supplied English Parts 1 and 2.

## Published-book provenance
This site presents transcriptions and scans of published devotional literature. It does not compose new verses or meanings. OCR errors may remain.
Decorative Madhuri and Bhakti Challenge illustrations were generated with Codex. They are separate from published source text, original scans and publisher artwork. Library covers are individually credited supplied-PDF cover/source-page images or publisher-representative artwork; the pictured cover does not establish edition equivalence. [Library cover provenance](https://radhey.shreyam1008.com.np/content/books/index.json).
Prem Ras Madira is a published work by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, with a print history preceding this website. The supplied companion Gutka identifies Radha Govind Samiti as publisher and its eighth edition as 15 July 2011 (PDF page 3, printed page II).
The official biography says Prem Ras Madira was published by 1955; a JKP article gives 1960 for its first Hindi publication. These sources disagree, so this collection does not assert a single verified first-publication year. The 2011 date identifies the supplied companion Gutka edition, not the first publication or every scanned edition.
