Siddhanta Madhuri · Pad 28
āju mana! dekhahuṁ shakti tihāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A devotee addressing his mind says – “Oh my mind! Today I will see your strength. You have been deceiving me since eternity, therefore you are undoubtedly an expert in the art of deception; but even after deceiving me again and again, you could not attain the wealth of happiness and thus you have totally been at loss. Today I want to give you a friendly advice. For you to inveigle, I have also searched out an extremely wealthy person, who is very innocent and kind-hearted. The great wealth which that opulent person possesses is the invaluable divine love. The village of that wealthy person is Barasānā and the name is Bhānudulārī. If according to my advice you go to Her even for once, you will attain the cherished wealth of divine love and divine happiness without any effort at all.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says for himself, “Although I am an uncouth person, yet I am an expert in Nāradī Vidyā. The implication is that when the mind deceived by me surrenders itself to Kishorī Jī, I will automatically be gratified.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
āju mana! dekhahuṁ shakti tihāra
ṭhagyo mohiṁ juga-juga te yāte, ho pūre ṭhagahāra
mohiṁ ṭhagi nahiṁ kachhu dhana pāyo raha, ṭoṭo yehi vyāpāra
ḍhūḍhyoṁ hauṁ ika dhanika ṭhagana ko, jo ati sarala udāra
dhana bad̤a prema, dhāma barasāno, nāma ju bhānudulāra
binu shrama nija abhīshṭa dhana paihau, jaihau jo ika bāra
chatura ‘kripālu’ nāradī vidyā, jānata yadapi gaṁvāra
