## English whole-pad meaning
The lamentation of Braja-maidens in Shyāmasundara’s separation – Oh sakhi! Will Shyāmasundara never come? Will one, so tender-hearted, become so cruel? Oh sakhi! Will He escape the memory of even those days when He dallied with us day and night? Will He also not remember the love of His friends, Dhanasukha, Manasukha, Shrīdāmā etc.? And will He even forget the parental love of Nanda and Yashodā? No, this cannot be. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the maidens of Braja add, “Will He have no remembrance even of Braja which He used to love more than even Himself? No, no, this is impossible.”

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.
