## English whole-pad meaning
The nectar of divine love is over-flowing everywhere in Braja, but the men of wisdom, although called intellectuals, are actually ignorant because, being unaware of this fact, they are wandering aimlessly. The Supreme Brahma, who could not be found even by lakhs of self-contented, self-realized men of wisdom though they searched for Him in every branch of the four Vedas from time immemorial, and who, in the end, was declared by them to be “Unperceivable”, Himself is running after the maidens of Braja and embracing them in Vṛindāvana. The impersonal Brahma, who is always meditated upon by Bhagwan Shiva in his heart; because of not being able to know whose secret the Vedas, after declaring – neti, neti (i.e. not only this, not only this), become silent; who is defined by them as absolutely detached and desire-less; that same Impersonal Brahma, in contradiction to all the above definitions, can be seen in Braja gently massaging the feet of Vṛishabhānunandinī Shrī Rādhā in the bowers of Vṛindāvana. The Brahma, whose māyā makes all movable and immovable creatures dance, along with Brahmā, Vishnu and Shaṅkara (the governors of this universe), in exactly the same way as a tamer makes a monkey dance, Himself is being made to dance innumerable times by the young girls of Braja just in exchange for a little buttermilk. The Brahma, who can destroy this entire universe simply by a slight crease in His eyebrows, and by whose fear, even Fear personified trembles with fear; whose name alone possesses the power to destroy the unbreakable shackles of māyā; who is All-Powerful and can make every impossibility possible, mother Yashodā has tied that same Brahma to a mortar and is making Him tremble with fear by merely holding a small, thin stick in her hand. Again, the Impersonal God, who is Omniscient, the Knower of all, and who is beyond the reach of senses, mind and intellect; who is unattainable even by millions who repeat His name and practise severe austerities for endless time; for whose attainment, the greatest of ascetics burn themselves in the yogic fire (after completing all the eight forms of yoga) and yet fail to receive even a glimpse of His grace (due to relying on their own spiritual strength), in the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, that same Unattainable, Unthinkable, Unperceivable Brahma of the gyānīs, is rolling on the ground and weeping bitterly to go into the lap of Mother Yashodā.

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.

## 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.
