## English whole-pad meaning

Kishorī Jī says to Shyāmasundara disguised as a bangle-selling-maiden, “Oh Captivating bangle-seller! You are worthy of alluring even the hearts of ascetics. What to say more, You have stolen even My heart. As You are beautiful, so is also Your adornment in sixteen traditional ways. What is Your name and which village do You belong to?” The bangle-seller replied, “Oh ‘Pyārī Jū’! My name is Sāṁvarī sakhī and Gokula is My village.” Kishorī Jī further asked, “Who is Your husband?” The bangle-seller replied, “Nandakumāra is My husband.” Then Kishorī Jī asked, “Who are Your parents?” At this question, the bangle-seller became silent, which made Lalitā a little suspicious. Therefore, she started staring at the bangle-seller unblinkingly. Because of Shyāmasundara’s long-familiar eyes, Lalitā recognised Shyāmasundara upto certain extent and upon seeing near His blouse, she beheld the Kaustubha gem which fully confirmed her doubt. Then what, Lalitā announced openly, “This bangle-seller is none other than the leader of pranksters, Shyāmasundara.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “Seeing Shyāmasundara in this guise, Kishorī Jī was overcome with laughter and both of them, i.e. Rādhā and Kṛishṇa, were united again.”

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.
