<a id="line-1"></a>करन चहत आलिंगन, आपुहिं आपु निहार  
<a id="line-2"></a>जन-मन-मोहन ही नहीं, निज मन-मोहन हार ॥५३॥

Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - श्रीकृष्ण का माधुर्य रस इतना विलक्षण है कि श्रीकृष्ण स्वयं अपने  
<a id="line-4"></a>आप को देखकर मुग्ध हो जाते हैं एवं अपना ही आलिंगन करना चाहते हैं।  
<a id="line-5"></a>अतः वे निज जन के ही मनमोहन नहीं हैं, वरन् अपने मन के भी मोहन हैं।

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-8"></a>The excelling charm of His loving beauty is so amazing that  
<a id="line-9"></a>(when Krishn sees His own image in the mirror) He falls in love  
<a id="line-10"></a>with Himself and wants to embrace Himself. Thus, He not only  
<a id="line-11"></a>entices the heart of His own people (man-mohan) but also  
<a id="line-12"></a>entices His own heart.
