## English whole-pad meaning

Shyāmasundara is causing a great tumult in Holī. Oh sakhi! He is reminding one of Shaṅkara Jī doing Tāṇḍava dance. Vīṇā, flute, drum, tambourine, small timbrel, mṛidaṅga and upaṅga are being played uniquely. Shyāmasundara is throwing diverse colours through pichakārīs aiming at every limb of gopīs. Shyāmasundara, along with the gopīs, has become multi-coloured like a rainbow. So much red gulāla was flung that the earth and the sky - both became red. Thus, firstly because nothing was clearly visible through the densely flowing gulāla, and secondly because the gopīs had lost outer consciousness because of being intoxicated with love, they started applying gulāla on one another’s face thinking it to be Shyāmasundara’s. No one is conscious of her ornaments and clothes. It seems as if all are under the intoxication of bhaṅga. Seeing the gopīs thus grappling with one another, Shyāmasundara stealthily walked away and hid Himself in an alcove of clove-creepers. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Blessed is that Leader of tricksters, and also blessed is this unique style of His playing pranks!”

karata hari, horī mahaṁ huradaṅga  
dekhu sakhī! janu tāṇḍava-gati soṁ, niratata shatru-anaṅga  
bājata vīṇā, veṇu, ḍhola, ḍhapa, chaṅga, mṛidaṅga, upaṅga  
raṅga-biraṅga raṅga pichakārina, mārata taki taki aṅga  
sakhina sameta shyāmasundara ko, indra-dhanusha soṁ raṅga  
etika ud̤ata gulāla lāla bhaye, bhū-ambara ika saṅga  
lāla-gulālana lakhi na parata puni, būd̤ī prema-taraṅga  
sakhi-mukha hari-mukha jāni malati sakhi, rorihiṁ gati ad̤abaṅga  
sudhi nahiṁ bhūshana basana kāhu kahaṁ, piye manahuṁ saba bhaṅga  
sakhiyana larata paraspara lakhi hari, duri gayo kuñja-lavaṅga  
kaha ‘kripālu’ dhani chhalina-shiromaṇi, dhani una ina chhala-ḍhaṅga

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.
