## English whole-pad meaning
Blessed are those maidens of Braja whom the Supreme Lord Shyāmasundara Himself serves as a servant. Some gopīs go to Shyāmasundara’s house on the pretext of complaining against Him to Mother Yashodā. Some appease their eyes with His bewitching sight on the way itself. From some, He deliberately keeps away, thus making them suffer the pangs of separation and feels beside Himself with joy, listening to their abuse of love ‘dārī ke’. To serve them, Shyāmasundara goes to the panaghaṭa everyday and helps all the gopīs in lifting their pitchers onto their heads. If any gopī comes all-alone from her home, He not only lifts up her pitcher but also escorts her to her house. Some gopīs feed butter to Shyāmasundara with their own hands while from some, who feel shy in doing so, He takes the butter and eats it Himself. Yet, there are some who check Him outwardly but long in their heart for Him to bless their butter as well. The omniscient Lord eats it by pillaging it from them. Some candid gopīs themselves talk with Shyāmasundara quite openly and smilingly. Some are bashful. With those maidens, Shyāmasundara talks Himself. There are also some, who are restrained from coming out of their house by their elders. In order to meet them, says Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, He Himself goes to their house and, teasing them in various ways, gets the titles of a thief and a flirt.

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.
