## English whole-pad meaning
A devotee lovingly taunts God and says, “Oh Brahma (God)! On what strength are you boasting so much? If you forgive my offence, I want to say something. Please listen to it carefully. You are declared by the Vedas to be devoid of attributes, but we are famous as possessing all the attributes in the whole world. You are without mind and intellect and also unable to do anything (a non-doer), but we possess both mind and intellect and can do everything. You are one and also formless, but we are innumerable and possess form. We also have name and place, but You have neither of them. Even if You claim to be full of attributes and Personal (i.e. endowed with a form) still You are no better than us. We are full of vices therefore we always look for vices in others, but You are afraid of doing so. Thus, firstly, this is Kaliyuga (the Dark Age); secondly, we are innumerable souls belonging to the same party; thirdly, we are pundit; and fourthly, we are also intoxicated with extreme vanity.” Therefore, Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh Brother Brahma! Please do not feel bad about what I have said.”

For Prem Ras Madira, the publisher states 1,008 pads in 21 Madhuris. The imported source identities are preserved; numbering reconciliation is deferred. 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. Roman text follows that edition; source wording can differ from the independently preserved Hindi scan. Each record identifies its translation source and PDF/printed pages.

## 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.
