## English whole-pad meaning
(In order to please māninī Rādhā, Bhagwan Kṛishṇa has put on the guise of a Vīṇāvārī (a lady with a vīṇā in her hand.) Shyāmasundara, in the guise of a Vīṇāvārī (a lady with the musical instrument called vīṇā) is looking absolutely unique. Beholding the beauty of the sixteen traditional embellishments bedecking Her, millions of ‘Ratis’ sacrifice themselves on Her. That exceedingly enchanting Vīṇāvārī, with Her chin resting on Her hand, is sitting at Kusuma sarovara. Kishorī Jī suddenly reaches at the spot and inquires, “Oh Vīṇāvārī! Who are You? What is the name of Your husband?” Vīṇāvārī replied, “I belong to the abode of gods (heaven) and am still unmarried. Realizing this world to be devoid of true happiness, I have detached Myself from it.” Kishorī Jī, obviously impressed by Vīṇāvārī, prayed to Her, “Please stay with Me in My palace; I will serve You with My own hands.” Vīṇāvārī said, “Oh Kishorī Jī! Only that person can take Me to his or her house, who promises not to disobey any of My commands.” Kishorī Jī accepted the condition, and thus, in the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Kishorī Jī was deceived by the trickster, Shyāmasundara due to Her extremely innocent nature.

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.
