Dainya Madhuri · Pad 29
kahauṁ kā, tuma soṁ nandakumāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Nandakumāra! It does not behove to say anything to You. To tell anything to him who does not know the secrets of heart alone looks befitting. Oh Shyāmasundara! Good people are carried on even in the world! But a worthless mean fellow like me does not have any other place to go except Your court. Although I do not qualify even for begging Your forgiveness, because to ask for forgiveness means never to commit that sin again, yet, says Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, ‘To whom else should I approach? Who else is there besides You to care for the fallen?’

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
kahauṁ kā, tuma soṁ nandakumāra
vāsoṁ kahata phabata jo ura kī, nahiṁ jānata sarakāra
khare khare ko to sansārahuṁ, sabai nibāhanahāra
pai mo sama khoṭe ko to prabhu, ika tumharo darabāra
yadyapi kshamāyāchanāhūṁ ko, nahiṁ hamaro adhikāra
tadapi ‘kripālu’ kahauṁ puni kāsoṁ, ko patitana rakhavāra
