Dainya Madhuri · Pad 28
kaho hari! kahāṁ rahyo tava nyāya
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Shyāmasundara! You Yourself tell as to where Your impartial judgement has gone. You bear the whole responsibility of surrendered souls like a mother. Seeing even a tear of theirs, You shed thousands of tears. You always walk behind them with the hope of attaining their foot-dust. You destroy their whole stock of good and bad actions of innumerable lives in one moment. Even after giving them Your abode along with Yourself, You don’t feel satiated. Becoming their paid-for slave, You serve them for endless time, and even in that service, You feel blessed in doing the most menial services to them. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī answers, “This injustice is not for the fulfilment of any self-interest. This is merely for the good of souls. Therefore, this injustice is regarded as mercy and this mercy is in accordance with the Vedic law. Therefore, whoever wants to share this mercy must surrender himself to Shyāmasundara.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
kaho hari! kahāṁ rahyo tava nyāya
yogakshema sharaṇāgata jana kahaṁ, vahana karata janu māya
unake ashrubindu ekahuṁ lakhi, bindu sahasra bahāya
chalata sadā unake pāchhe yehi, āshā pada-raja pāya
amita janma ke karma shubhāshubha, chhina mahaṁ deta nasāya
dai nija loka āpu saṁga una kahaṁ, tabahūṁ nāhiṁ aghāya
karata dāsatā krītadāsa bani, nīcha ṭahala bali jāya
yaha ‘kripālu’ anyāya dayāmaya, vedana nyāya batāya
