## English whole-pad meaning
After seeing the divine abode, Barasānā, which constantly showers the rain of divine love-bliss, even crores of Brahmānandas appear to be dull (valueless). Shrī Vṛishabhānunandinī Rādhikā is the origin of divine love and the source of the innermost essence of mahābhāva. The repository of nectarean love and the ocean of beauty, She is worshipped by the Supreme Brahma Shrī Kṛishṇa Himself. That same Rādhikā Jī has incarnated Herself in the house of the King, Shrī Vṛīshabhānu, to bestow divine love upon deserving souls. The Brahma who is described as ‘Unborn’ and ‘Imperceptible’ by the Vedas, has appeared in the form of Shrī Kṛishṇa in the house of an ahīra, Nanda. The same Ultimate Reality with form (i.e. Bhagwan Kṛishṇa), who could not be attained even by Brahmā, Vishnu and Shaṅkara on the strength of severe penances and other spiritual practices, is longingly searching for His Swāminī Rādhikā Jī in the lanes of Gahvaravana of Barasānā. Barasānā abounds in places of incomparable beauty such as Pīrī Pokhara, Prema-Sarovara, Vṛishabhānukuṇḍa, and the groves of Gahvaravana, where the Supreme Brahma Shrī Kṛishṇa pleases Shrī Rādhikā Jī by disguising Himself variously as a flower-maiden, a female ascetic, etc., feeling beside Himself with joy. Shrī Kṛishṇa, who in Barasānā entreats the sakhīs and begs them again and again to grant Him a vision of His Swāminī, saying, “Oh sakhīs! Please allow My eyes to have a glimpse of My Swāminī’s face; My eyes are like honeybees for Kishorī Jī’s honey-sweet face”, greedily watches Lalitā sakhī massaging the lotus feet of Kishorī Jī. Not only this, the Supreme Brahma Shrī Kṛishṇa also sweeps clean the inner chambers of Shrī Kishorī Jī’s palace with His crown and feels afraid to ask even for Her mercy. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “Shrī Kṛishṇa incessantly sheds tears in His effort to appease māninī Rādhā.”

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.
