## English whole-pad meaning
(Mother Yashodā plays a very sweet trick for making child Kṛishṇa drink milk.) Maiyā cleverly asks, “Who wants to become my son?” And then, “Who will be good and do what I want him to do?” Before Balarāma can get a word in, child Kṛishṇa eagerly answers, “I!” Then Maiyā asks, “Who will drink the milk of Kajarī (the name of one of their cows)?” No sooner does He hear the name of milk than Kṛishṇa starts running. Maiyā grabs His hand and tries various tricks to get Him around to drink His milk, but baby Kṛishṇa is not willing to understand. Finally, coming up with an idea, Maiyā says, “Whoever drinks this milk gets a really long plait. And whoever drinks this also becomes really, really big!” Hearing this, little Kṛishṇa, caught in the net of Maiyā’s words like a parrot, becomes ready to drink milk. But at every gulp, He gropes through His hair to see whether His little braid is really growing big or not. All the cowherd boys start laughing at the innocence of Kanhaiyā. Thus, He gulps down all the milk in the hope of getting a long braid. (Mother Yashodā however, is left wondering how she will prepare Him to drink milk the next time if He sees no difference in the size of His braid.) Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī comes to her rescue and says in his words, “Whoever drinks milk after having been told only once gets such a long braid that it reaches the netherworld.”

hamāro kauna banego lāla?
hamarī bāta kauna mānego? ‘hauṁ’ kaha hari tatakāla
‘kajarī gāya dūdha ko pī haiṁ?’, yaha suni bhajyo gupāla
mahari pakari kara bahu samujhāvati, nahiṁ samujhata haṭha-bāla
‘jo yaha dūdha piyata hai, vākī, choṭī hoti vishāla
begi bad̤o hvai jāta’, kānha suni, phaṁsyo kīra jyoṁ jāla
ghūṁṭeka piyata, lakhata puni choṭihiṁ, haṁsata sakala mili gwāla
imi dhokhehiṁ paya piye lāla jaba, chalīṁ yashomati chāla
jo ika bāra ‘kripālu’ kahe piya, choṭī jāti patāla

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.
