## English whole-pad meaning
(The description of the beauty of Shyāmasundara’s adornment.) Oh sakhi! I have seen stunning Shyāmasundara. The curls of His hair are looking so beautiful that it appears as if swarms of black-bees have gathered and are forming lines to drink the pollen of His lotus-face. His crown, staff and earrings are all made of gold. His gem-studded earrings oscillating on His beautiful round cheeks seem to be playing on them. The collyrium of His intoxicating eyes gives happiness to the rasikas and shatters the pride of the khañjana bird. A gem-studded frolicsome kiṅkiṇī on His waist is producing sweet jingling sound. Various types of jewelled necklaces are graced around His neck. He is wearing pītāmbara and a beautiful kāchhanī is tied on it. His flute is tucked in the kāchhanī. He is walking in an intoxicated manner. Therefore, the chandrikā of His peacock-feathered crown is repeatedly swaying to and fro according to the movements of His body. The gem-studded anklets on His feet are producing sweet tinkling music. In addition to all this is His enchanting smile which forcibly captivates the heart. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “I don’t feel satisfied even after sacrificing crores of Kāmadevas on each and every limb of His infinitely beautiful body.”

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.
