## English whole-pad meaning

Oh sakhi! Look at the beauty of the beautiful besara! I don’t know what great austerities this besara has practised to be blessed with such an exalted place. It drinks the nectar of Shyāmasundara’s lips day and night. This extremely fortunate one becomes beside itself with bliss, kissing Shyāmasundara’s lips over and over again, swaying and bending with joy. If by chance pītāmbara gets entangled in this pampered besara, then Shyāmasundara disentangles it with His own hands. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Shyāmasundara feels inebriated with joy when He looks at it in the mirror.”

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.
