Siddhanta Madhuri · Pad 77
milata nahiṁ nara tanu bārambāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
The human body will not be given frequently. The merciful Lord rarely bestows upon the soul the human frame after it’s wandering in eighty-four lakh forms of life. Even before blessing it with a human body, God hangs the soul upside down in the womb with even its mouth fastened, to make it realize the true nature of the world. When the suffering in the womb becomes unbearable for it, God gives it knowledge and the soul makes a vow, ‘Please get me out of this painful womb, I promise that I will worship You and You alone.’ One, who after being born, forgets his vow undergoes the same pitiable condition even in the present life as was in the womb. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that this human body is rare even to heavenly gods, therefore, be on guard and engage yourself in the sweet remembrance of Shyāmasundara.

milata nahiṁ nara tanu bārambāra
kabahuṁka kari karuṇā karuṇākara, de nṛideha sansāra
ulaṭo ṭāṁgi bāṁdhi mukha garbhahiṁ, samujhāyehu jaga sāra
dīna gyāna jaba kīna pratigyā, bhajihauṁ nandakumāra
bhūli gayo so dashā bhaī puni, jyoṁ rahi garbha majhāra
yaha ‘kripālu’ nara tanu sura durlabha, sumiru shyāma sarakāra
