## English whole-pad meaning

(Bound by the strings of a gopī’s love, Bhagwan Kṛishṇa went to her house to steal butter. But as soon as, putting His hand into the butter-pot, He started eating, the gopī arrived. What happened then has been beautifully described in the following pada.) Shrī Kṛishṇa was caught red-handed while stealing butter. He was rapidly eating butter from the butter-pot with both His hands, and, at the same time, keeping His eyes and ears alert, was also looking in all the four directions. Although it was pitch dark where Shyāmasundara was doing so, yet the effulgence emanating from His divine body had lighted the place dimly, like lightening in the clouds. Therefore, the gopī did see Him and asked, “Hey! Who are You? What are You doing in my house?” Shrī Kṛishṇa, startled and frightened at this sudden interruption by the gopī, answered, “I am Kānha. I mistook this for My house.” Again, the gopī asked, “Even if You came here, mistaking it to be Your house, why have You put Your hand into the butter-pot?” Shrī Kṛishṇa replied, “There were ants, you see, in the butter. I was just trying to get them out.” The gopī further asked, “Why did You wake up my sleeping children?” Then, Shrī Kṛishṇa said, “I didn’t, they might have seen some frightening dream.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh Shrī Kṛishṇa! To what extent will You patch up the sky? i.e. for how long will You fabricate stories?”

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. Unavailable translations remain explicitly marked; English navigation alone is not a translation. Text may contain OCR errors. This export does not grant a redistribution license.

## 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.
