## English whole-pad meaning
Oh sakhi! Look at the affluence of the month of rain! The adolescent Divine Couple (Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa) is swinging on a swing in the newly built beautiful groves. With one hand, They are holding the rope of the swing and with the other, garlanding each other’s neck. Inebriated with love and looking at each other, They both are giving pushes to the swing together with Their lotus-feet, bending and swaying with excessive joy. Kishorī Jī’s blue dress and Shyāmasundara’s yellow garment are fluttering in the air, while Their curly tresses are mischievously swaying to and fro. Both of Them are singing the song of swing together in the raga Malhāra and sakhīs are singing grace notes (tānas) and augmentations (ālāpas). Surpassing one another in the art of playing various musical instruments, the maidens of Braja are playing on different musical instruments like vīṇā, flute, etc. Seeing this enchanting scene, Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī acclaimed, “Victory! Victory to both our Lords! Balihāra! Balihāra!”

dekhu sakhi! sāvana māsa bahāra
navala nikuñja-mañju bicha jhūlata, navala yugala sarakāra
pakare dou ika-ika kara ḍorina, ika-ika kara gara-ḍāra
dou deṁ jhoṁṭe jhūmi-jhūmi jhuki, ekahiṁ eka nihāra
phaharata nīla pīta paṭa añchala, chañchala laṭa ghuṁgharāra
gāvata rāga malāra duhuṁna mili, ali kara swara-vistāra
sakhina bajāvati bīna benu kou, saba pravīna ika-sāra
lakhi ‘kripālu’ kaha ‘dou mama ṭhākura, jaya ho jaya balihāra’

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.
