## English whole-pad meaning

One sakhī, siding with Shyāmasundara, asks for forgiveness from māninī Shrī Kishorī Jī on His behalf. In reply to her request, Kishorī Jī says, “Oh sakhi! Ask Him to go back to the house where He spent the night. Sakhi! You are extremely innocent and ignorant. You are pointlessly pleading at My feet on His behalf. The signs of love-sport are clearly manifesting themselves on His body. Is there a need of anymore proof? I have spent the whole night remaining awake, shedding rivulets of tears from both eyes continuously. He was merry-making at Chandrāvalī’s house, while here, I was burning in the fire of separation.” (The poet makes use of subtle humour here by referring to the literal meaning of the word ‘Kṛishṇa’ which is ‘darkness’ and that of ‘Chandrāvalī’ meaning ‘a row of moons’. As one knows, darkness and the moon are two opposite things, and therefore, thus can never be seen together. Hence,) Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī ironically remarks, “I am greatly surprised to know that Shrī Kṛishṇa and Chandrāvalī had been together!”

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.
