Siddhanta Madhuri · Pad 12
are mana! chāra dinā kī bāta
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh my mind! It is just a matter of a few days, because after this full moon-light of the month of Autumn, in the form of the human body, passes away, the dark night in the form of eighty-four lakh existences is bound to follow. Lost in the deep slumber of ignorance, you are totally unaware that death is waiting every moment to make you its prey. Although you are constantly going through terrible suffering as a result of fleeting mundane desires, still you are not ready to abandon your sleep. Remember, if you lose this golden opportunity, i.e., if you do not realize God while in this human form, you will ruefully feel tantalized and wander in vain in eighty-four lakh forms of life. Therefore, Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that obey the commands of saints and surrender yourself at the lotus-feet of the divine couple, Shrī Rādhā- Kṛishṇa.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
are mana! chāra dinā kī bāta
nara-tanu sharada-chāṁdanī bīte, puni aṁdhiyārī rāta
tū sovata kachhu jānata nāhīṁ, kāla lagāyo ghāta
tajata na nīṁda yadapi vishayana ke, chhina-chhina jūte khāta
avasara chūki phiriya chaurāsī, kara mīṁjata pachhitāta
rasikani kahī ‘kripālu’ mānu gahu, yugala-charaṇa-jalajāta
