## English whole-pad meaning

Oh sakhi! Will that day ever come when even I, like others, will be blessed with the sweet sight of beloved Shyāmasundara? I have been listening to His attributes for a long time that in comparison to His infinite beauty, even the beauty of crores of Kāmadevas put together is nothing. All maidens of Braja unanimously say that it appears as if the essence of nectar oozes from each and every limb of His body. One thing I hear about is that the side-long look of His mischievous eyes is full of such a spell that whoever looks at it is compelled to be sold without a price, and another thing which is often heard about Him is His immensely sweet smile which forcibly captivates the heart of all devotees making them useless for the material world forever. Revealing one more attribute of Bhagwan Kṛishṇa, Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that the melodious music of His flute allows none to escape from its maddening effect; it continuously keeps on injuring all.

kabahuṁ sakhi hamahuṁ dekhihauṁ shyāma  
bahuta dinana te gunana sunati hauṁ, koṭi kāma abhirāma  
aṅga aṅga janu chuvata sudhārasa, asa kaha saba brajabāma  
ika to sunati chapala chitavani te, bike sabai binu dāma  
dūjo sunati madhura mṛidu musukani, hota sabai bekāma  
kaha ‘kripālu’ ika aura murali dhuni, ghāyala kara avirāma

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.
