## English whole-pad meaning
Tired of Shyāmasundara’s pranks during the days of Holī, a sakhī complains to Kishorī Jī, ‘Oh Kishorī Jī! Is this Holī or highhandedness? Whenever that naughty Shyāmasundara finds any maiden alone, He drenches every part of her body with colour. That we should be thus tortured in Your kingdom, is a disgrace to Your father, king Vṛishabhānu.’ Hearing this, Kishorī Jī ordered all the sakhīs to fill their pitchers with saffron water and drowning their pichakārīs in them, start for the river Yamunā on the pretext of filling water. She further instructed that one sakhī should stand exactly in the middle of the path and the rest of the sakhīs should hide themselves behind the creepers. As soon as that Naughty one starts teasing that sakhī, all the sakhīs should surround Him simultaneously from every side. Afterwards, they should completely drench Him with colour concurrently and besmear His cheeks well with gulāla. Then all the sakhīs, holding Him firmly and tying Him with a rope, should bring Him to My palace. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Kishorī Jī says, “Then I will behave with Him arbitrarily and say to Him, ‘Now tell Me how did You like the festival of Holī?”

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.
