## English whole-pad meaning
(The poet compares baby Kṛishṇa, dancing in the house of Nanda with Bhagwan Shaṅkara.) Today, Shrī Kṛishṇa, looking like Shaṅkara Jī, is doing, as if the Tāṇḍava dance. White with dust, Shrī Kṛishṇa in Yashodā’s courtyard appears as if Shaṅkara Jī has smeared ashes all over his body. The garland made of big lotus-flowers adorning his neck seems to be the muṇḍamāla of Shaṅkara Jī. The blue colour in His peacock-feather is, as if the poison which beautifies Bhagwan Shiva’s throat, but thinking it to be poison, Shrī Kṛishṇa, instead of wearing it in His throat, has worn it outside His body in the peacock-feather. The tiger’s nail which Bhagwan Kṛishṇa is wearing, can be compared to the moon which Shaṅkara Jī wears on his head, the only difference being that Bhagwan Kṛishṇa has worn it around His neck unlike Shaṅkara Jī. The reason behind the change in places of the moon and the poison is that Bhagwan Kṛishṇa loves His lunar dynasty, therefore He embraced the moon by wearing it around His neck, and the poison is not dear to Him, therefore, He kept it in the peacock-feather. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Thinking naked little baby Kṛishṇa to be veritable Shaṅkara Jī, Kāmadeva is feeling very much afraid lest this Shaṅkara Jī may turn him into ashes as he did once before.”

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.
